Deisel 38 #1 July 30, 2014 So I'm considering buying a used reserve. But the seller has lost the pack data card. Does one simply creat a new one and start over? Or does this complicate things more?The brave may not live forever, but the timid never live at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 643 #2 July 30, 2014 First of all, ask the seller who his last rigger was. Then ask the last rigger to write a duplicate card with as many re-packs as he can remember. All good riggers keep "riggers' logbooks," while best can also refer to an old stack of invoices. If the seller cannot remember who last repacked that reserve, then ask your most experienced local rigger to do a full inspection before any money changes. A grumpy, old, grey-bearded Master Rigger might remember a Service Bulletin that is too old to be still available on the internet. Always a good idea for any buyer to research any Service Bulletins before any gear purchase, then ask your local rigger to translate the SBs into "skydiver speak." Hah! Hah!

Deisel 38 #3 August 1, 2014 Thanks Rob. Turns out that the reserve passed inspection and was quite well maintained. The main however, has been grounded pending multiple repairs. Go figure...The brave may not live forever, but the timid never live at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
