    And I've got one sitting in the closet somewhere - it's got a couple of jumps on it. I believe it is DOM 1986...

    On my G4.1 I use a reserve Slink for Deployment Bag Bridle Attachment - like this: http://www.chutingstar.com/archives/00000105.html

    This regulates the use of an "unapproved foreign parachute system" by foreign visitors in the US. Could you clarify what is actually meant by "unapproved"? Is it the equipment itself (say, a H/C not approved for use in the US) or the reserve pack (say, packed by a foreign non-faa certified rigger)? What if I visit the US with my Rig that is bought in the US, but assembled and packed in my own (foreign) country by a non-faa certified rigger. Will my jumping activity (when visiting the US) then be regulated by Sec. 105.49? What if it is packed by a FAA certified rigger? Hope you will clarify this, thanks. Rene (edited for typos)

    I happen to have an old Omega in the closet, and the handles are in fact ABOVE the chest strap. Was that also the case with this rig? (may be visible from the pictures?) (edited for spelling)

    A few years ago I took my rig to the UK but I cound't jump it unless the seal was removed

    I think it is important in this thread to remember that Mirages do/did not have a design flaw when used correctly. This SB actually only serves to help save your butt in the unanticipated event when you use your rig incorrectly (read – when the rigger you choose packs your rig incorrectly). If you use your rig correctly there is no issue. Thanks to Mirage for their effort to correct potential problems in cases when their product might be used incorrectly.

    How's that for a Reserve Repack Cycle (12 years)

    Yeah, hookitt is right - with that misalignment it cound be a problem trying to land it under unexpected circumstances (i.e. off-field).

    Just moved to England recently, and need to find a rigger in the London area to assemble my soon-to-receive brand new gear (Mirage G4/Safire2/PD-R/Cypres). Preferably someone with Mirage knowledge Any help? (Name/email-address/phone#/whatever) Oh, and any suggestions for where to jump? Thanx
