  1. The RSK is sized for up to a 99zp. Sun Path recommends only one downsize for their containers. However, they say and RSK will hold a 71-79 crossbrace. According to PD the 71 Velo packs smaller than the Katana 83. Seems like the 83 should be ok... Just wonder if anyone has real world experience. Thank you.
  2. Thanks a lot guys. I decided to shoot Sun Path an email; I wanted to get non-biased opinions before I did so. I am super excited, this will be my first custom / new rig!
  3. Sorry to offend you, pchapman. Thanks for your helpful input though...
  4. lol, I almost did that in my first post too... EDIT^
  5. I have an Optima 126 now in my NJK. Did you guys feel that the rig seemed bulky with an Optima 126? I don't want it to feel like a brick... Thank you!
  6. My next container is going to be a Javelin RSK, which is sized for a 106 - 120 reserve. I know the pdr113 is a tight fit, but I heard that even a pdr99 is tight. I want an optimum reserve, which packs a size smaller. FROM EXPERIENCE: Is a regular pdr99 tight? Would a 99 or 106 optimum be too loose? Thank you! (I pack my own reserve)
  7. I have seen risers where the middle ring is not a circle, instead it is oval shaped and has an extra piece of metal in the middle. (almost like a figure 8, but not indented in the middle) What are these for? What is their benefit? Thank you.
  8. Thank you so much for the informative answer, it was exactly what I was looking for. I would still like to know the date that they changed it, if anyone knows. Thanks a ton!
  9. The sliders on older canopies have the tabs that barely stick out, the newer ones have the lines that hang out about 10cm. Did they make this change at a certain point on all their canopies? Thank you.
  10. Thank you very much Remster! I really appreciate it :)
  11. Hi! I have been lurking around the forums and classifieds for about a month now. I saw a rig she has for sale in the classifieds: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/classifieds/detail_page.cgi?ID=111588;d=1 I am interested in it! However, I have no way to contact her without waiting 3 days, because I just signed up for an account today :( Can any of you guys help me to get into contact with her? Thank you so much!
