Zenister 0 #576 July 12, 2005 heh.. no worries.. Jeff told me once someone sent him a link and said "just like that" so somewhere out there is another one just like mine i'll buy the next round just because you bought an infinity ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

BBKid 0 #577 July 12, 2005 OK, I've got a question for Infinity owners, or anyone working for VSE: in a couple of pictures I've seen, it seems that the side main closure flaps don't completely cover the bridle. Is this the same on many Infinities? It just strikes me as odd that RWS, Mirage, Sunrise etc make their containers with wrap-round corners that completely cover the bridle, but VSE don't. I realise the chances of the relative wind catching the small amount of bridle exposed is minimal, but since Amazon uses hers for speed skydiving I would've thought any bridle exposure would be unacceptable. I'll try to find a photo of what I'm talking about and upload it here, but any comments in the meantime are very welcome. Edited to add photos - sorry about stealing them from this thread!

mktoson 0 #578 July 12, 2005 IIRC it is now standard on any VSE rig to have additional bridle protection. See pic. So far, this is the oldest I've ever been. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBKid 0 #579 July 12, 2005 Awesome. Next rig DEFINITELY going to be an Infinity. Make a window for January guys....there's gonna be one excited customer on the phone so you'll want to get it built quickly! Nick --------------------------- "I've pierced my foot on a spike!!!"

mktoson 0 #581 July 12, 2005 When I ordered my Infinity in May I called to have the additional bridle protection added and they told me that it was standard. I don't know the date it became the norm. So far, this is the oldest I've ever been. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stumpy 284 #582 July 13, 2005 Is that extra bit part of the side flap or is it stiched onto the bottom of the container? ThanksNever try to eat more than you can lift Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shark 0 #593 August 8, 2005 Are you referring to your container from VSE or the whole rig including canopies? It may be that your container may be ready, but it does you no good since the canopies are not ready if you are getting it from a dealer. If it is delivered ready to jump it doesn't sound like it's coming directly from VSE. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The main canopy is slightly used, the reserve is a stock item from Aerodyne. Both canopies are being shipped to VSE so I don't have to wait an extra weekend to get my rigger to assemble and pack the rig. It'll be shipped from VSE ready to jump.cavete terrae.
