We use Vector Tandems and I got 22 inch housing for our rigs and tacked them into place so that the handle for our Vectors are in the same place as it is found on the Sigma. That is a quick, easy and permanent solution. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 3 #27 March 2, 2006 QuoteThere was talk that he should have gone straight to the reserve without releasing the drogue. We all agreed that there was no way the TI could know exactly what was going on tho. I just wonder what the video would have looked like with a reserve and an inflated drogue playing together? Anyone have experince with that? I do. My one and only tandem reserve ride was a total with drogue in tow. After attempting, unsuccessfully, to pull both drogue releases and the cutaway, my only choice was to fire my reserve right into the drogue. It opened fine.

SkymonkeyONE 3 #28 March 2, 2006 QuoteWhat do other TI's do with that housing to keep it out of the way? On older Vector II tandems, and any other rig where you can move the drogue releases around, I make it a point to feed the excess cable housing back up into the rig. I do this at least two times on every skydive: -when I first put the rig on -right as I get up and start moving to the door Paul Rafferty taught me that when he put me through the course Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've asked our riggers to do this before and they have told me it wouldn't be as easy as it sounds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
