I doubt that anyone would ship their rig to me w/o some kind of down pymt or something.

I stand corrected. Thanks for this info Jessica. You are such great help in my search for a used rig.

Service bulleteins for rigs or canopies. Wow, I thought they only had those for automobiles. Cool. Can I reference that on the manufacturers website or is there another source for that info?



Yes, you can usually find a canopy or rig manufacturer's service bulletins on their website. It's all good stuff to know.

And nope, I'm not a rigger! I just play one on TV!

One other plus about buying new, is that when you get a new/smaller rig, you can just tell the manufacturer "Same measurements as my last one". Makes you feel all important.

"A W-10 please, my measurements are on file"



Hi John! You crack me up! Your rig is looking purty by the way. Or manly...whichever gender your rig is. :)

I paid for a full inspection by a master rigger. The rig was in good condition (had less then 500 jumps on it). It wasn't the most comfortable or fashionable but it was airworthy and it served its purpose as a first rig.



Point taken Will thanks. I'm definitely going to go this route.
