javelin j-3 ff friendly or not ??

Recommended Posts

Pretty much any container built after about 1996 is freefly safe. Javelins have been on the market since the late 80's, so check the date of manufacture before buying.

Things that make a container freefly "safe" - minimal bridle exposure, secure main and reserve flaps and secure riser covers. Don't freefly with an ROL (rear of legstrap) mounted throw out pilot chute; too much bridle is exposed.

I have had no issues with my javelins over the 3 that I have had, I liek the odysseys a little more on the FF side, but mostly for comfort

It can almost certainly be modified to be FF friendly. If in doubt, show it to an instructor or rigger at the DZ over the weekend. They'll be able to tell you in a couple of seconds if it's FF friendly, and if not, how difficult it'd be to modify it.


edit: Some punctuation in your post would be nice :P. It's kinda hard to figure out what you're saying...

While you might be able to jump a 170, you're going to have a harder time persuading someone to let you jump a Stiletto 170. It's a high-performance fully-elliptical canopy.

Chat to an instructor at the weekend, and they'll explain in much more detail... as well as giving you a go/no-go.
