So what knowledge you put behind that statement? Is that what the dealer told you? Because this seams to be the talk of dealers selling those rigs. "Dude, it's exactly like a Javelin! Just 1000 bucks cheaper, but the quality is higher" And that of course is far from the reality. "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

Are you a rigger? "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

That's better ;) "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

I made those pictures, but they fall under " unsourced hearsay here on DZ.com" so that makes the redesign of the RPC not real. Kinda like the "flat Earth believers" don't trust the pictures from NASA. But here's another one I took 5 min ago. Once again, I don't work for Sunrise rigging , so this is probably a fake one as well ;) And just to calm that dude down, they don't have to release an SB if they change the design. Did you see an SB from UPT when they switched from tuck tab riser covers to magnetic? "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

One size fits all! That's also true for: UPT, Sunpath, RI, Mirage, etc. --Mark I'm fully aware of this. Except for Racers. If we want to start nitpicking "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

What you are describing are the old Mirage risers. Rigging Innovations did something similar as well. So it's one of the two. A picture should be enough for me to tell you which one is exactly. "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

Harry, I honestly don't care what their business model or strategy is. All I care is that now I will have to explain jumpers why their maintenance free unit will have to go back to the manufacturer for some maintenance. And despite the fact that AAD will cover the expenses on their end, people will still pay for shipping to them and whatever their rigger charge them for getting the Vigil out, filling the paperwork, and shipping and handling...See my point? Where is the brand war? And this is from the service bulletin that I obviously didn't read: "For all users NOT making, or planning to make, a jump with an exit altitude above 27,000 ft MSL, or planning to make a flight above 27,000 ft MSL, compliance is still mandatory..." "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen
-
I still wonder why the folks at AAD, don't just admit that the whole 20 years maintenance free concept doesn't work, and introduce a mandatory maintenance schedule. They kinda did something similar with the decision to not ship batteries, so you have to send your unit back. We will probably never know...

A month ago I packed an AF 160 into Mirage G4 M3. Fitted just fine. PDR 160 is listed as "firm" in that rig. My guess is that AF 150 will fit into I3. And just a tip, whenever you buy a reserve and the packing volume is an issue, get a white one. "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

Definitely better! "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

I don't know how common, but I've seen it happen twice. What I see lately (the last year) is that they've changed the stitch that holds the bungee inside the line. It was with a bartack in the past, now is 3 rows of 301 stitch. That does make difference on the life span of the shock cord! You are MR, check if you can do a "repair" on the ripcord according to your local rules. Wasn't much of a help I'm afraid, but it's all I can offer "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

Here you go! http://skydivewings.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Reserve_Boost_Routing-Newer_Wings.pdf As far as the changes go, the RPC creates more drag now. "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

It's on the label sewn onto the front left reserve riser. "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

Untreated lines are less prone for tension knots. At least that's the idea. And not all reserves have untreated lines. In fact, only PD is using them. In my 20 years of rigging, the only tension knot I've seen on a reserve, was on untreated lines. "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

I posted the video earlier in this thread. It will get completely ignored. Only time video with knifes are used is when they show multiple fatalities, cause then it supports their need for guns. Sorry for the repost. I just saw it, but your link doesn't work. "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

Here is one good example how [sarcasm]gun control doesn't stop mass shootings[/sarcasm] https://dutchreview.com/news/us/crazy-guy-attacks-school-no-one-gets-hurt-isnt-us/ Mentally disturbed 44 years old entered a school in The Netherlands and killed 19 kids. Except, it didn't happen because the guy had no access to guns. All he had was 2 kitchen knifes.....and nobody got hurt! See, gun control doesn't work!

Still some cross bracing in it... "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen
-
Let's say cross braced canopies don't exist. Which canopy you will take on your next CP competition and why? Im interested to see if we gonna end up with a list of 10-15 canopies, or more like 3-4. Cheers "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

Some sizes are TSO'd to C23c cat B and some to C23d. Basically the reserve you buy now is the same proven design that's been there for years. They haven't changed the design. "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

I should've said European Certified either FAA TSO or EASA JTSO! Better now? "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

On all European tandems the drogue collapses prior pulling the Dbag out. "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

Which manufacturer is that? "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen
-
I will charge 10 € only if they are airworthy. In my experience, if the risers are so old that they don't have the hard inserts, they are probably long gone. "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen
-
The last few canopies I've installed, the toggle loops were set and bartacked by the manufacturer... just saying "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen
