gread 0 #1 October 14, 2006 I have a Voodoo which currently has a Merit 190 in it, which I'm looking to downsize. Does anyone have any experience of fitting a Safire2 149 or similar in a V4. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerry81 10 #2 October 14, 2006 How's the Merit fit? I just put a Katana 107 in my V2 and while the rig looks cleaner than it did with my 120, I had to shorten the closing loop to about 1/2" to make it tight enough (but just barely). If my reserve was any smaller it would probably be too loose for comfort. So, yeah, try it if you have a Safire 149 at hand, but in general, Voodoos don't allow for much downsizing...

dragon2 2 #3 October 15, 2006 A merit packs awfully small, esp if it has a lot of jumps on it. OTOH, Vodoo's aren't known for handling canopy sizes they weren't made for.... They start to look ugly and the sides close in too much if the canopy is too small, if that makes any sense. I'd say a zp 170 would be fine if the merit fits great, dunno about a 150... What does your rigger say? ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JJohnson 0 #4 October 16, 2006 I've got a VooDoo that was orignally holding a Safire 135, goign to a Cobalt 120 was a noticeable difference. A 105 looked bad in it. I'd had to of gotten a differnet rig to handle the 105.JJ "Call me Darth Balls" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
payback462 0 #5 October 19, 2006 i put a safire 149 in my V4 once, it was soft, but with a super short loop it wont be dangerous. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
