I own two Javelins.
I would want open corners for WS, spacer foam, and a pocket on the legpads for storing stuff, like shorts for naked jumps.
of course everything but hte spacer foam is my winter project :)

Man, my wings risers are great at keeping the brakes locked in solid. I have never seen them move one bit. Wonder why yours aren't working for you???

I suppose I'm not terribly creative.
With two Voodoos and two Talons (one FX and one FS), I can't think of anything I'd change.
Pocket on both for carrying pullup cord, stowbands, and 20.00 for that off-landing ride (thankfully not spent since Flock n' Dock)
Solid riser covers that don't move.
Solid toggle keep system.
9' bridles with larger PC, superlight hackey for wingsuiting.
Vented backpad
Cut in laterals
Dynamic corners/cut corners
Easy pack reserve system
Sweet fit
Killer customer service.
Price could be lower, but they say that about Ferrari's, too.

Good idea! Shit, looks like magnets have lots of places they could be used on a rig. Pretty soon we are going to exit the plane and stick to the side of the fuselage! haha
aluminum magnets...i think you're on to something there!

How did I know some smartass was going to call me out on that one. Can't a guy make a joke around here in peace? 
Last I checked, rivets are still steel. With these new magnets they have nowadays...........

waw, you're finally at aluminium planes ? I thought you would be at wood+fabricaluminum magnets...i think you're on to something there!
we need fiber magnets

fabric? you had fabric...?? why when I was your age, we used feathers like nature intended!!! We didn't need no stinkin' fabric on our planes!
Always remember that some clouds are harder than others...
Feathers?? you had Feathers???
We rode the BIRDS...
Years ago at a demo, we were all in the 'packing room' getting gear cleaned up one night. There was a TV in the room playing the movie "Clear & Present Danger"...
The part of the movie comes on where a black ops guy crawls up to a drug plane, attaches a charge and blows it up.
Steve Snyder yells from the back of the room..."Must be Top Secret...I gotta get me one of those!"
"What Steve, a bomb for the airplane?" I asked.
No he replied....an ALUMINUM MAGNET!
Everytime I see that movie now I hear Steve...

It existed for main, was available on a lot of rigs, nobody bought it, no longer available.
Actually it is kind of available because it used little magnetically activated transmitters used for falconry to but on birds.
Locater was several hundred dollars.
Company was ParaTelemetry and owned by George Galloway.
Hmm, seems like a draft web site is still up.

it's a little annoying to shut the cypres on, you have to fondle it out under the reserve-flap; kinda forces you to do a reserve-pin check anyway, so it aint ALL that bad, but it could be a little easier accessible anyway..
question for the folks with the wichard-hardwear, i've ordered the "french" hardware, which opens really smooth if you slip your thumbs in, but stays rocksolid closed during planerides and the way to get to the plane; is that the same thing!? pictures please if you have them..

I didn't like the front handles, so I put them on my WS gear and put a pair of Vector risers with Tru-Lock on my Wings...

Yeah, I know what you are talking about. Mirage too, opening that flap can really be a trick. Doesn't Vector offer a window on the backpad to have your display?
