Stephanie, sorry to hear about the loss of your friend! Hang on to the memories of the good times and let the sorrow run it's course.

I sent a note to PD but maybe someone here has the answer, how do you size the PC ?

6'4" 220 - 225... I've never weighed myself nekid tho... I must be missing something

Anything to watch out for?? .. I plan to get insurance and use a large carrier like UPS or Fed -X.

I'm a wuss.. I have no plans to down size for quite a while... I'm sure a 210 will scare me enough , I mean teach me respect

Sounds like I'll be best off to go with the collapsible and remeber to cock it :) Thanks.

I am curious if a colapsible pilot chute is really needed on a Silhouette 210 ? I'm building a rig and thinking I can save a couple bucks now while I learn to really ring out the 210.

Thanks both for the input. Maybe I was over analyzing it . I'll let RWS recommend which riser to attach it to. As far as the reserve goes, can I have them not repack it when they are done with the install? I still have a few weeks before my canopy is delivered and I could have my rigger install and pack both when the time comes.

I plan to send my Vector 3 in to have a Skyhook RSL installed soon. Does it matter which riser I have it hooked up to ? I would prefer the left side since I am right handed and would assume it to be easier for me to disconnect it in the event of a high wind landing etc..

Quote And level 6 is the first solo exit and the dreaded backloop, reply] Why dreaded ? Thats when it stopped being work and became fun for me . Backloops are a blast!! I'm not sure how much you will need to repeat after your lay off but don't fear level 6. It's when it all comes together..

An Amigo named Josh ... Taught me everything I know..

I bought a used rig and the Cypres is due for it's 8 year in August. I'm ordering a canopy that will take 10 weeks to deliver and plan to send the rig in to have a Skyhook installed while I wait for the canopy to be delivered. Is it too soon for me to send the Cypres in for the service as well ? It sure would be nice to have it ready to go when the rig is complete. What is the turn around time once you send the Cypress in? I have a couple weeks fudge factor I believe. Also, what is the normal charge for the rigger to open the rig and r/r the cypress? sorry for all the questions but hey, thats what this place is here for - right
