Hi, There are pretty much 2 ways to measure the main risers. 1 - overall length of webbing. Mirage, UPT... 2 - overall length of webbing plus the bottom ring. SunPath... Standard risers are normally 20" long. Blues, Gus Marinho

Holes in a reserve - to patch or not to patch?
marinho replied to hackish's topic in Gear and Rigging
What does a container manufacturer know about reserves? Ooops, I thought I read reserve PC. You're right! Still, contact the manufacturer!!! Gus Marinho -

I suggest you to contact the manufacturer of your container. I truly believe only them can answer your question. Cheers, Gus Marinho -
Hi, Maybe you have been on their website, but just in case. http://www.flyyourbody.com I suggest you to contact the manufacturer! Cheers, Gus Marinho

Hi, Try this: http://parts.singerco.com/IPsvcManuals/20U.pdf Let me know, Gus Marinho

I've attached 2 pictures. Note that on the 1st one it shows the following: One small plier for #0 and a bigger one for #2 and up. Also a screw driver to cut open grommets. The second picture show a more detailed view of the plier. They're just cutting pliers that I worked to make that shape. There are 2 types of grommets inserting tools, one for nickel and brass and one for ss grommets. I have Stimpson of New York and they are very good for #0, 2 and 4. They are also a good tool for ss rolled rim grommet, long shank used for risers. They pretty much roll the spur top not leaving a sharp edge. I hope it helps Gus Marinho

I normally use a special plier that I made. Have you seen one of those? If not, let me know and I'll take a picture of it. I have 2 sizes of pliers, one for #0 and one for the other sizes. Depending of which tool was used to install the grommet, I also use just a flat screw driver and a hammer, taking good attention to not damage the stiffener Let me know, Gus Marinho

Hi, Which size? Gus Marinho

New style friction adapters on Javelin leg-straps
marinho replied to jumper03's topic in Gear and Rigging
Hi Tim, Just for the matter of discussion, Jump Shack(PL) uses webbing type 13 on most of their harnesses. They use type 8 on the diagonal or "V", rear riser and chest strap only! Take care, Gus Marinho -

marinho replied to jumper03's topic in Gear and Rigging
Hi Steven, Try this: Option 1 - contact dave at SunPath Option 2 - Put another elastic keeper on the legstrap. Put the rig on, tight the legstraps and put one elastic keeper close to the hardware and the one just to keep the remaining strap in the legpouch. Then arch and see if it still does that. This problem is the relation between the webbing treatment/color "R" and hardware type. Let us know. Good luck! ps.: Don't listen to J. He doesn't know anything about Sun Path! Gus Marinho -
Small hole in BOC spandex? Best way to repair?
marinho replied to jumpdr's topic in Gear and Rigging
Hi, Ask you rigger to hand tacking the hole with super or lite tack cord (without the pc in the pouch off course!). It should not be a problem! Take care, Gus Marinho -
Hi, Sorry to hear you're having problems with your new gear. Here is the steps you should follow: 1 - Contact the dealer you made your purchase. 2 - Contact Mirage for more details. You can reach Ward Wessig from mirage at: ward@miragesys.com or 386-740-9222 Aerodyne (the maker of pilots) has nothing to do with the sizing of your container. Good luck and post back the results of your experience dealing with that. It can help other skydivers! Cheers, Gus Marinho

Hi Brian, Loosing up the chest strap is a good thing to do to improve the canopy performance. You don't need that at this time. Once under your canopy, check for traffic and your spot. Learn to fly your canopy in a safe way for yourself and others. Learn about flight patterns, turbulence and any thing that can improve safety for you and your friends. Be safe and blue skies, Gus Marinho

Hi, Choose something simple for now. A goggle that you can bend, put in your pocket and if you loose it, it's not a big deal. Also get one with clear lens. I have probably 5 different type of goggles in my gear bag! Gus Marinho

Quote 1. Ship out my Cypres2 (more expensive international shipping from Canada) for maintenance for its 4-year maintenance and probably new battery. Quote Hi, Please note that there is no batteries replacement charges on cypres2! You only pay $160.00 plus shipping! Blue skies, Gus Marinho
