Mirage is a top quality rig, with great production times, and good QC, and accuracy.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

ReLLiK75 0 #6 May 12, 2004 You could just by an Aerodyne Icon and not worry about options because it already comes with pretty much everything! __________________________________________ Have you Got Flare? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RyanofOZ 0 #7 May 13, 2004 I had a hard time deciding on my first new rig also. As stated above though, I bought an Icon and made it a little easier on myself! Mirage is a great rig though, you should be very happy when you get it all done and delivered!Oz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeryde13 0 #8 May 14, 2004 it.s not just you. but if you concentrate , keep your eyes open , and use the force wisely.......the rig may come to you. heres my story......was looking for my first rig....asking questions, reasearch, blah blah blah. looked at aerodyne for the one stop shop deal, but couldn't find a dealer near me. then i saw an ad in the classified for a used rig that was every thing i wanted and tested, with about 40 -50 jumps on it.....even the color i wanted. .... keep the faith man._________________________________________ people see me as a challenge to their balance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seekfun 0 #10 May 14, 2004 Funks, There is an easier way...Buy an Icon. I just ordered a new system - Icon/Smart/Safire2 - and the process was simply simple. Someone above made the comment that going to someone who sells rigs all the time would help. This is true. I ordered mine from Para-Concepts at Skydive Chicago and they were immeasurably helpful. And, being so new, all of this help was wonderful. Thanks PC. Thanks Aerodyne. Good luck getting the new rig... topher"...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyangel2 2 #12 May 16, 2004 I just ordered a new Wings last month. I decided if I was getting new, I'd order all the extras. When it came to deciding on the colors, I just went with what my other rig had. I killed a lot less brain cells. BTW, ordered the Wings last month, and as of last Friday, it had been shipped.
