Viking 0 #1 July 2, 2005 I'm gonna be ordering my custom rig in the next couple of weeks. I was leaning extremely heavely towards a Racer 2k3 but have decided on a Wings. Both with white trim tape. Rig one will have black wings symbols on the sides and white text on the mudflap. Rig two will have white symbols and text. I'm just having problems desiding on which color sceme to get.I swear you must have footprints on the back of your helmet - chicagoskydiver My God has a bigger dick than your god -George Carlin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deuce 1 #4 July 2, 2005 I like #1 better, and you won't be sorry you went Wings. Tell them Deuce sent you! (Ankie is an Angel, and Henri is an alchemist!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedyGonzales 0 #5 July 2, 2005 I like rig #1 as well. I just ordered my new Wings yesterday! Mine looks kinda like your first one, only with yellow trim tape and yellow on the mid flap stripes. I'd post a pic but I'm computer stupid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SpeedyGonzales 0 #7 July 2, 2005 I had a gift certificate so I ordered straight from Wings. Options I got were: Stainless Steel Deluxe Pin Stripe #6 and #7 Quilted Backpad Mid Flap Stripes Collapsible Pilot Chute Hackey Handle Custom Color Cutaway Handle Pillow Reserve Handle I haven't spoken with Ankie yet to confirm everything though. She had the day off yesterday. Edit to add: I also got an articulated harness, but I didn't really consider that as an "option" Also, dealers in your area: http://www.skydivewings.com/dealers/western.htm The two at Elsinore are Ground Zero "Paraphernalia" LLC The Gear Store at Elsinore Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squeak 17 #8 July 3, 2005 [cough] get a Micron[/cough]You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deuce 1 #9 July 3, 2005 Quotewhere did you order from? What options did you get? Out of all the available options, the cut in laterals are probably your best bet. On a larger first rig, they make a HUGE difference in how comfortable the rig is to wear. Get the cut in laterals, and probably an RSL for that first one, at least.

Viking 0 #14 July 4, 2005 well when i'm jumping a 150 (in like 10 years ) Atleast it will be an option.

bob.dino 1 #15 July 4, 2005 So order a Vector 3-M. That comes in larger sizes than the Micron, and can also be ordered with a Skyhook. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jtval 0 #24 July 4, 2005 hey viking, I know its can be expensive but think about it this way. this rig will be jumpable for 20 years, if you take care of it. why dont you save up a little more and get EXACTLY what YOU want? you seem fine with the wings but if EXPENSE it the only reason you arent getting something else maybe you should wiat another few months etc..My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viking 0 #25 July 4, 2005 Price isn't the main reason, I also just don't like the way the Vector looks. I think i'll be very happy with my wings.I swear you must have footprints on the back of your helmet - chicagoskydiver My God has a bigger dick than your god -George Carlin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
