Viper container?

[PhreeZone 20]

Someone recently pointed out to me a used Viper container for sale on a gear stores site. I don't ever remember reading about the container getting TSO'd. Did I miss that somewhere or how could you sell/jump a rig with no TSO?

The manufacturer site doesn't have the link for the manual or order form available. Doesn't look like a true production item to me, but I have seen Flip Colmer jump one.

There's one for sale at:

The owners are the same as the would-be rig manufacturer.

It never DID NOT have a TSO.

The Viper is a redesign of the Reflex, just like the Vector was a redesign of the Wonderhog.

Here in Canada, CSPA doesnt require TSO's. My rig doesnt have one. As long as a rigger (either FAA or CSPA) says its good to go, and the reserve is in date, then its fine here.

Let's avoid confusing the poor Americans by avoiding discussing any parachutes made outside their FAA TSO process.
Your Excalibur harness/container was sewn by Flying High Manufacturing before they obtained a Transport Canada Technical Standard Order for their - current production - Sidwinder harness/container.
While your Excalibur may have a different container, its harness is almost identical to a TSOed Sidewinder harness.
Flying High's TSO only covers Sidewinders.

Flying High was the fourth Canadian company to obtain TSO certification. The other Canadian manufacturers were: Parafab, Roger Sport and West Way.

Hey, Rob!

I have had the pleasure of meeting the folks from 'Flying High'. Really good folks. They produce a really fine product. Real 'sticklers' for detail and some excellent workmanship in their harness-containers. I enjoy visiting with them at the Symposiums. I guess you know, their 'shop', is a converted RR depot!? Just wanted to take the opportunity to put in a 'plug' for those folks and their product.
