Pilot 140 into a Vector V308?

Recommended Posts

Will a Pilot 140, brain and PDR126/Smart 135 squeeze into a V308 (or equivalent...they're the V's sized for a PD ZP 135 and PDR126's/Raven135's)

Anyone jumping it? Anyone managed to beat a 150 in there too?

I know what the manufacturer says is what they say, but my I4 with 150/150 is far from hard and my Teardrop with 170/170 was squishy too. And they had the recommended canopies in. I really don't want to buy a new rig and find out that yeah, i could have got the smaller one.

well my 308 has a Stiletto 135 and a PD126R and a friend has a 150 in hers, her is a little on the tight side to pack so I'd say YUP, there is room to move for your 140

Mike, have a look at Kate's rig - she's got a V308 with a PD126R, Cypres and Pilot 132.

And my V306 has got a MicroRaven 120, Pilot 124 and Cypres 2 but it is TIGHT!! I packed a PD126R into it twice in 2 days and had to admit that it looked pregnant! Kind of 3 months gone rather than 5 though if that helps!

This is a bit unscientific, but the 306 says it's made for a Stiletto 120 and I can squeeze a Pilot 124 in there. So as the 308 is made for a Stiletto 135, I'd say putting a Pilot 140 in there would be about the same. I really don't think i'd get a 132 in mine, so that'd indicate the 150 won't fit in yours.
