faulknerwn 38 #2 January 12, 2003 It should come ready to jump. Some of them have better riser setups than others, and some have d-bags while some have tail-pockets, but you should have what you need to jump. W Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

homer 0 #5 January 13, 2003 I'm not sure about CReW canopies but I have an Order to demo a Sabre2 170 and if I'm not mistaken they said it was the canopy and risers only I had to provide the D-bag and pilot chute. Go to PD's web site and select demo they will contact you concerning the request. CSA #699 Muff #3804 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 15 #6 January 13, 2003 A freefall canopy is different then a CRW, the retractible bridle and PC are built into the CRW canopy and the tailpocket/bag should be also.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
homer 0 #7 January 13, 2003 I know they were different. I was just giving an example for the canopy that I will be domoing. Thats why I made the referral to PD's site for more info. CSA #699 Muff #3804 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJL 232 #8 January 15, 2003 Doing the same for Z-hills. Will be at Lake Wales the whole week previous. Doing wind tunnel the previous Sunday then jumping throughout the day. I assume I can find some people for CRW jumps at Wales. I think my mentor is coming down but I'm too light for his 160. In the meantime...lots of pullups. -Doug"I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crwmike 0 #9 January 16, 2003 I don't know of any CRWDogs who jump at Lake Wales. You might give them a call and ask. Sebastian and ZHills are better bets. Michael QuoteDoing the same for Z-hills.

DJL 232 #10 January 16, 2003 Thanks, I'd love to participate in the Zhills boogie if I get the nod that I'm up to par. At least I'll be able to listen in on some stuff to learn. I'll head up there and see if I can talk someone into jumping with me. I'll email you about the "Freeze Your Buns Off" Boogie so I can get on the info list.

bodypilot90 0 #12 January 17, 2003 what I got from PD QuoteMost all of our demo canopies are set up on mini risers (type 17) with mini rings. Some of the larger ones have the larger (type 8) risers, but we keep those with mini rings as well. We are currently in the process of updating the risers on all of our Lightnings to be proper CRW risers, right now they are about 50/50 CRW risers or just regular type 8 risers, but all with mini rings, so you should be able to get that hooked up to your container :) However, the Lightning packs up a bit larger than many similarly sized canopies, so I would check with your container manufacturer to make sure that the 176 will be a good and safe fit. The demo canopies are available on a first come, first serve basis, we don't reserve the demo canopies to certain dates, so you would have to check back with me when it draws closer to the dates you need them to see about the availability at that time. The fee for the demo is $30.00, and that covers the shipping to you and the inspection when we get the demo back. You pay for the return shipping of the canopy. The demos come on risers, but you need to put your own d-bag + pilot chute on the canopy. If you prefer to use your own risers, feel free to put the canopy on those, just remember to ship our risers back with the demo. You get to keep the demo for 2 weekends at a time, and please ship the canopy back on time so we can send it to the next person that is waiting to try it. We do need either a Visa or MasterCard credit card number, both to pay for the demo and also to keep on file for while you have the demo. If you don't like e-mailing your credit card number you can either call me with it (386 738 2224) or fax it (386 734 8297). Once you are ready to demo, you can go to our website and fill out a demo request (http://www.performancedesigns.com/demorequest.asp), and I'll contact you right back to let you know the availability and get any other information if needed. I hope this helped - but please let me know if you have any other questions! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
