skydiverek 63 #1 September 6, 2012 Anyone knows what the maximum suspended weight for the 5-cell Swift reserve is? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerryBaumchen 1,465 #2 September 6, 2012 Hi skydiverek, I am going from memory so be easy on me. I 'think' that the 5-cell was TSO'd in the Low Speed category of TSO C23b. There is no max weight in that standard, only a max speed of the aircraft of no more than 150 MPH. Personally, ( having owned 2 of them & jumped one ) I would stick to around 175 lbs max. I weighed ~175 lbs naked and stood it up rather easily. But I had ~700-800 jumps at the time. Hope that this helps, JerryBaumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pchapman 279 #3 September 6, 2012 Time to pull out my 1991 Paragear catalogue -- that thing has been so handy over the years! For the 177 sq. ft. 5 cell Swift, it lists 180 lbs as max suspended weight. (However, it doesn't address the certification issue as Jerry was doing.) When the Swift came on the market, I kind of doubt that only those of 155 lbs or less bought it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
