  13. Got a good deal on one of these two. Please choose and comment. Thanks. Felipe -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."
  14. Damn dude, I did buy one used. 6 packs short of what the label says. Anyway, I sent it to PD and they answered: Hello Felipe, We have received, tested, inspected and evaluated your reserve. The reserve’s permeability rating is averaging 8.33 CFM in the center. The permeability of the fabric is very important. As the permeability increases, the canopy will open more slowly and flight performance will deteriorate. The rate of descent will increase and the forward speed will decrease. The ability of the canopy to flare to a soft landing will decrease. Performance Designs has established an average permeability limit of 8.0 cfm is as high as it can go to still be considered a life saving device. The reserve must be grounded. I'm so happy with this result. I do trust PD. I'll use this reserve for training (rigging). PD did offer me a good deal on a reserve. I'm taking it.

  15. Seller says that he washed the rig in an automatic washer along with another black rig or a black towel....his own words I found he whole situation so comical. He threw a black towell along with the container? -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."
  16. Mathrick, That's exactly what RI said that it happened. They noticed that it had been dyed at some point after manufacture. So I now have a nice harness to hang and practice Emergencies, or water training. -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."
  17. For me, I guess, it will come to where is the closest service center for my Reserve. Thanks for commenting. -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."

  20. Cool, I needed this kind of sense of urgency. I'm aware that you gotta fly Ravens the way they want to be flown, not the way YOU wanna fly them. (all this in theory) your comment " (landing) on the corner of the dz next to the fence, and power lines." Got my heart racing as I was reading it . Thanks, I Appreciate your time you took to answer.

  21. Thanks Ken for replying, Go PDR143 all the way huh? What about those low packing ones Optimum? What other small packing reserve with a good flare are out there? a Smart LPV? Why do some people consider the Optimum a bad thing, is it because it opens softer? Thanks for your comments. Felipe -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY...

  22. Raven Dash-MZ 150 Hybrid. Top is ZP. Loaded at 1.7 Lbs per Sq Ft. Do you guys do it when you land? Do you guys induce speed on the reserve?

  25. Hello, reviving an old thread here, but I was looking for a video where people are testing several models of hook knives on actual skydiving harnesses...cutting webbing and such. Has anybody seen that video? could you post it or send a link? Thanks, Felipe -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."
