Wings RSL wear

[Harksaw 0]

I have just bought a Wings with only 40 jumps on it, and the only thing I found that I dont like is the RSL is right next to the reserve risers. When the main is open, the RSL pulls about a half inch of the velcro off. The hooks of the RSL velcro start wearing at my reserve risers. Has anyone else had this problem, and what did you do?

Step1: Call up Henry at Sunrise rigging and talk to him.

He'll probably want you to send your rig in to look at it.

You can ask a rigger to make a sleeve for the reserve riser. To install it he would need to detach the canopy from that riser.

Sounds like the RSL lanyard is either too short or isn't installed correctly. It may be that the RSL is for a different sixe container or from a different container altogether. (I've seen a Talon RSL installed on a Javelin witht he same result, a damaged reserve riser) Measure it and call Sunrise Rigging. They will need the container size also. Velcro damage to the reserve risers is serious and dramatically weakens the webing over time. Get this fixed now.
