jverley 1 #1 December 23, 2003 Anyone know where I can get packing instructions for a Paraflite Swift Reserve (5-cell)? I have not been able to find them on the web.John Arizona Hiking Trails Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hooknswoop 19 #2 December 23, 2003 There are 2 SB’s for Swifts. I think they are for the 7-cell Swifts though. Swift Bar tacks and Swift Recall Your best bet for the Instructions is to contact Para Flite Derek Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Correct. Five-cell Swifts are only affected by the rib Service Bulletin. The bar-tack SB only affects (7-cell) Swift Plus reserves.

Danne 0 #5 April 12, 2005 Does anyone have the manual for the five-cell with the weird brakes? Please send me a copy if you have. Thanks, Daniel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazydiver 0 #6 April 12, 2005 http://www.parachuteriggers.com/packing%20instructions.htm Check this website out. They have manuals and service bullitens for a multitude of items. THe swift packing instructions are offline right now, so if you click on the link, it sends and email requesting the manual. Hope that helps.

ahdz 0 #7 April 12, 2005 I have a 1989 version of the ParaFlite Swift manual ; more up to date than the 1981 one on http://www.parachuteriggers.com/packing%20instructions.htm I'll get a copy made for the website in the next few days and get it off to them so we can all share. If anyone needs it any quicker than that, PM me Regards Andrew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pchapman 279 #9 May 31, 2017 I have a copy but see it seems to be on the UK Skydiver rigging manuals pages: http://www.uk-skydiver.co.uk/cms/files/file/1458-swift-cirrus-orion-manualpdf/ This does include the odd original Swift brake system. As you may well know, there are a couple bulletins out for the canopy -- rib shape and bartacks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 643 #10 May 31, 2017 5-cell Swifts (serial number R3-????) were only affected by the rib Service Bulletin. Updated canopies have a special stamp on the Center tail. As for packing ...... yes, the original steering lines are such a nuisance that I always have to glance at the manual. As for flat versus pro-packing .... leave the nose exposed and follow the container manufacturer's instructions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
