C1i55 0 #1 March 30, 2009 I am currently looking at buying a reflex, and i have been sent pictures and everything looks great. I kinda thought that the yoke looked a bit wide for me in a few of the pics, but the seller tells me it should fit fine, ive got part numbers and serial numbers, does anyone hear know the different sizes for the reflex, or the best way of finding out what size person that rig is intended to fit? Id appreciate any feedback, thanks guys"60% of the time...It works every time..." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybytch 273 #3 March 30, 2009 Email Action Air - sales at actionair dot com. They have access to all of the Reflex records. With the serial number they can find out what measurements the rig was built for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g2gjump 0 #4 March 30, 2009 Make sure to double check the serial numbers. There was a service bulletin released that stated some reflex's were made with faulty or lose grommets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BIGUN 1,307 #5 March 30, 2009 If memory serves, that SB became just about an industry-wide SB and it's resultant solution is now the grommet standard for any rigger inspection.Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Yes! Before James Martin thundered in, customers grumbled about me resetting grommets (on most types of rigs). After the Reflex Service Bulletin, they stopped grumbling.

councilman24 37 #7 March 30, 2009 But there was a specific Reflex SB and fix that added thickness under the gromment to aid setting tightly. http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk/cms/index.php?option=com_docman&task=cat_view&gid=340&Itemid=243I'm old for my age.

BIGUN 1,307 #8 March 30, 2009 Hi Rob, Terry, Whew... that's been what 10-ish years now? Am I mistaken in thinking that pretty much all the H/C manufacturers went to the added thickness under the grommet in an SB? Going strictly off memory and the Martin shock wave here. I think skydivers on 3 continents were testing their grommets about 8 seconds after it happened. KeithNobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

councilman24 37 #9 March 31, 2009 I'm not so sure they added thickness on purpose. Seems like more stainless gromments showed up instead of nickle plated brass. They seem to set tighter and not loosen as easily. I still have my feeler guage in the rigger kit.But I don't have any rigs in front of me and have had a hard morning. I'm rambling. Rob, you'll know better than I. BTW Mick (you listening?) seemed to have issues with canopy sizes. Mine had to get rebuilt for the canopies I specified. (7 day turnaround) I have a couple at home right now trying to decide if I want to buy them. One is supposed to hold a Raven II reserve (yep) and a zp 9 cell 190 main. According to the sizing chart NO WAY Maybe a 170 tight. The other one was supposed to be built for a Raven I and a Triathlon 190 but it's the same size as mine built for a 170 and the 190 isn't going in it either. GRRRRRRR Both are new, never jumped. Guess I'm going to have to lose weight. I'm old for my age. Terry Urban D-8631 FAA DPRE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
