Conquest 190

Recommended Posts

I read thru some of the prior threads on Conquests and just want to make sure I have some up-to-date guidance.

My girlfriend picked up a Conquest 190 and is in the process of huffing and puffing over here in the living room stuffing it into my D-bag so I can test jump it for her.

We did a complete 4-line, line inspection, a visual once over on the cells, top/bottom skin, etc.

Anything special I should be looking out for? I've been jumping a nice old Monarch 195 "SkyTruck" for the last 10 years or so, with a smattering of jumps on different canopies (Pilot, Sabre, Sabre 2, etc) here and there over the years, so jumping something different doesn't bother me, just want to make sure if there are any "gotchas" I'm aware of them beforehand. Packing tips?

I'm not a front-riser flyer, really, so I don't anticipate that I'll be doing anything that will induce problems under the whole "do not front-riser a Conquest!" tuck under problem as has been reported elsewhere.

I plan to give it a good workout up high before doing anything stupid down low. :)

TIA
