Oh yeah..my wingloading is plenty sufficient for me for a good long time. My Mirage is a Mirage G2, MOS M1, manufactured in 1997 or 1998, and yes, I have a Cypres. Closing pin jewelry

I hesitate to say with CN watching *grin* but I jump a 135 Sabre :) Have been for some time now actually. However, I do figure that it will do me for quite some time...I can't see myself downsizing for a very, very long time. I actually have done CRW with it once ... lol. Gawd, I'm so getting my a** kicked on here now! I think the 143 is about as big as I'll be able to get into my container, but I have to say, after having jumped with a 109 in it all this time, I feel MUCH better with the idea of a 143 :) Maybe I should keep the 109...I just know this is the year I'll finally get down to 100 pounds and look just like Ally McBeal...bwahahaha!

I'm sorry to hear that...both of them died from hook turns?? When did that happen? Closing pin jewelry

Thanks guys. I agree...120 seemed not much less 'scary'. I want my last chance to be my best chance. Closing pin jewelry

REALLY?! I had never heard this. In fact, I've always been told the opposite...to turn it off if you don't get out. Why is it not recommended, do you know? Closing pin jewelry

Thanks Rob...I appreciate the input. Mine is actually listed (the serial number) as one of them recalled, and was manufactured in 1998. Also, I'm supposed to be able to fit up to a PD 150 or smaller in the rig. Two questions - As to charming them...do you mean basically buying a 120 with the $100 rebate, but then not getting my 109 back (thereby not getting to recoup any of the cost by selling my old canopy eventually)? Also, what are your thoughts on a 120 reserve for my size? I realize Dash-M's are made to fly like larger canopies then the actual 120, but that still seems a bit of a heavy loading? I'm 145 without a rig on (ack, I can't believe I publicly revealed my weight..lol). I'm just wanting thoughts on a good reserve size for my size. Oh, and if a Dash-M 120 would work well for my size, that doesn't mean a PD-120 would, correct? Since they are supposed to be made differently? Thanks! Closing pin jewelry

Thank you Bill. I printed it to put in my log book so I can re-read it when I need a reminder. Closing pin jewelry

Here's a little quiz to see just how much you REALLY know.

Started at 25, now 27 :) From Kansas, now in OK, very soon to be ... who knows! Closing pin jewelry

It's a Raven Dash-M 109, and I've already checked into it, and know a larger one will fit in there. It's actually one that already had the problems with the lines that they did the service bullitan on and I have to get fixed too. I just would rather not wait a significant amount of time for it to sell to get a new one, and taking my chances jumping with it :/ Closing pin jewelry

Does anyone know if there is any company that allows trade-ins on reserve canopies for some credit? The reason I ask is that the reserve that came with my rig that I bought used is rather small, and I've been told it should be okay for me, but I'm becoming more and more uneasy about it. I figure I can 'manage' with it, but really don't want to try if it should become necessary, and hesitate to think about what might happen should I be knocked unconscious or some such and land with it. Basically, I just don't want to treat my canopy like I do my clothing...I'm intending on losing 10 pounds, and it'll be fine then. LOL. Anyway, I'm at the absolute max wingloading on it, and want to upsize of course. I'm having trouble finding anyone that needs a reserve that small though. We're not jumping right now until Merrick finds another job, but I'd like to figure something out about the reserve before we start jumping again. Thanks! Closing pin jewelry
