jacobos 0 #1 October 10, 2006 I am having trouble locating a stunts adventure equipment eclipse container owners manual. I have tried all the "google" and "ask" searches but still nothing. Can anyone out there help me or lead me in the right direction. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riggerrob 643 #3 October 10, 2006 Good news! The eclipse manual is merely a photo copy of the Vector 2 manual. Amusingly, the Eclipse Tandem manual refers repeatedly to Eclipse without drogues. While I may have a few jumps on pre-drogue Vector 1s, I have never seen a Vector 2 or Eclipse Tandem without a drogue. Hee! Hee! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerryBaumchen 1,405 #6 October 10, 2006 Hi Bonnie, Are you saying YOU wrote it? I always thought that Sharon Stewart wrote it. ?????? Jerry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GravityGirl 0 #7 October 11, 2006 No! Not at all! I am saying that at some point, I re-typed that manual for Eclipse. You know. So it wasn't PHOTO COPIED. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hookitt 1 #8 October 11, 2006 Too bad someone else wasn't available to proof read it for accuracy. (Not spelling and grammar, that was fine)My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Mike, I have a quick question for you, as I too have had much difficulty in locating a users manual online. I have an eclipse container (size A, I think???). I bought it with a PD 126R and a Stiletto 135 in it, rig was perfect size, shape and fit. I've since got rid of the Stiletto 135 and would like to pass this rig on to my husband, who needs a larger canopy than a 135. I wonder what size main I could safely fit into this Eclipse size A container? Still have the PD 126R in it, does the manual have recommended reserve/main combinations for the different sized containers made by Eclipse?

hookitt 1 #13 May 10, 2011 Quote I wonder what size main I could safely fit into this Eclipse size A container? ... FatButtSitFlyer in Moab There is no documentation available with sizing suggestions. The 135 is pretty much the largest you'll safely fit in that container. Some have slightly more C/Cs available but most likely you're at the max. Also, if it's an Eclipse with the corners of the main container sewn in more than an inch, you may wish to open them up a little.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...

FatButtSitFlyer in Moab We only have a few remaining Eclipse customers around here, so not sure on the full sizing range. But if the Stiletto 135 fit comfortably, then you should be able to go up one size. Best would be to borrow someone's 150 to pack it in this container just to know for sure.

para_seb 0 #15 March 7, 2013 Hi guys, i know i'm reviving an old thread but i have a similar question. I'm looking at a used eclipse container sized D and wondering if a 230 sabre would fit in it?
