I was wondering cos many people (including myself) have rather small reserves (not much bigger than the main). I'd just like to know how much glide it has and how good it flares.

Everyone wants to demo their main before they get one, but people don't seem to be too worried about their reserves... I don't get it. If there's one canopy I'd like to be sure I can land it would be my reserve!!! So I was wondering if there are demo-programs for reserves? Or information on how they compare to main canopies? I have a micro-raven 135, I've never seen it out of the container. All I know is it's black, and it is a F-111 7-cell if I'm not mistaken. Would it be a bit like a Spectre 135? Kikidi

with my exit weight of 160 I am loading my micro raven reserve at 1.18 but PA recommend not exceeding 1.... does this mean it's really unsafe or is it OK? I bought the rig 2nd hand - it's my first- and the guy who sold it to me of course siad it was fine....
