  6. This is why I'm ordering a new Smart 250for my Dolphin! But I'll still be loading it at 1.0 to 1
  7. I would try to find a swampy or marshy area and PLF actually years ago , there was a show on about a sky diver that landed in a guys front yard that had just been sodded or was being prepared to be sodded if i remember correctly and survived ! The guy hit feet first and the owner of the house found him buried up to his waist, broke damn near everything but lived!
  8. OK Thanks for answering my question
  9. I'm buying a Aerodyne Smart reserve to put in my new container and was wondering if they ship them with connector links or is that something a rigger keeps on hand and I'll pay for when he assembles and packs it?
  10. Thanks, I may do that I bought a new container because I couldnt find anything I liked that would fit me so I am trying to save a little on the reserve and AAD by going used
  11. Thanks but I need a bit larger I am a new guy only 19 jumps 250 pounds geared up
  12. Really dont want to spend $700 to $900 on a new reserve but I may not have a choice I've looked all over the net and the classifieds here and can't find squat in the 250 square ft. range. anyone know where I might find one?

    Dolphin

    Just recieved my Dolphin . It is a great container Ignore the reviews of the old Dolphins There is no comparison, The new tuck tabs are very secure and go all the way over the shoulders the velcro is gone from the reserve pin cover and it's now secured on all three wind exposed sides very secure. The bridle has no exposure to the wind and is hidden all the way to the mouth of the main pilot chute pouch . The only velcro left is the small bit for the bridle over the main pin and where thw main pin cover flap tucks under and velcro's in I dont see how it could come open in free fall as it tucks under and velcro's very nice! There is padding everywhere the backpad the shoulder straps, leg pads all comfy and Altico will size to fit just give them your measurments and you have a custom rig at a fraction of the price of some of the other containers out there. Then theres delivery time I had my Dolphin delivered to my door in SIX DAYS top that!
  14. I'm sorry I meant to say I'm 225 I will be about 250 geared up Im not really overweight more of a muscular build 6 foot still can bench 300pounds at 36 years old I was told by one of my coaches that I had the fall rate of a piano!!!! till I learned to really push those legs out
  15. I emailed Mike this morning and I got the standard one size up one down advice but he basicly said the best way is to try one in for size and see if it fits! Thats why Im asking for people that own or have owned this combo or any riggers heck I saw a D3 on the classifieds that had a Tempo 210 in it just want to be sure.
  16. Hello every one I'm buying a Dolphin container New and was wondering if a ravenIII 249 with micro lines will fit as a reserve or will I have to go with a Raven II 218 and if anyone here owns or has owned a D4 what they had in there's Thanks, Scott
