thanks deuce,i'm also a big advocate of knowing what your reserve is going to do before you need it.i made it a point to jump my last two reserves in between a repack cycle,and is the main reason why i got rid of my 150 microraven as soon as i could afterwards.i will be doing the same with this pd126,which is on it's way.you gave me some of what i was looking for;your experiences(first hand),not a bunch of advice that i WASN'T looking for.BLUE SKIES.

if you're unconscious and landing on a highway in front of semi,do you think you'll make out better with a larger reserve?point being,you can't prepare for every scenario,i'm trying to find out how this thing flies and flares at that wing loading.

thanks rob, didn,t know any of that,have you finished the wrist mount for my camera yet?
-
very probably yes,and yes

thanks dazzle,i'mpretty sure i'll be fine with my 126,but will be doing a jump on it as a main before it goes in to my container.funny,my 150 tempo is a sweet reserve,an older 150 micro raven i did a jump on was a bag of s***.

flying like a manta is a good thing!

i'm in the process of upgrading my gear.sweet new wings container,120 stiletto and pd 126.i've heard pd reserves "fly larger" than most equivalent others,is that true.i'm 180 lbs.without gear,so i'm loading it a little.have had 3 reserve rides on my 150 tempo,and it was like landing a manta...fat and gentle.anyone out there loading their pd as much or more?(of course there is).how were your landings?
