a97virago 0 #1 May 14, 2003 I'm in the process of getting my first rig . The trouble is that it comes with an, as my rigger describes it, "old and thin and tired, just like me! Except for the thin part." The container is a 1994 Vector 5.5. I've been told that at one time, Relative workshop took old containers for trade-in credit for a new one. Is this a myth, and are they still doing this? Larry A-43434 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ask the rigger if it is still airworthy, If the answer is yes , go jump it. just remember to get the velcro replaced regularily. have fun Andrew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Plucky 0 #3 May 14, 2003 I agree with 174fps, my first rig was also a 1984 Vector (aquired about three years ago). I'd be more worried about the reserve in it (if any). Blue skies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
