RSL - dumb question

[nigel99 501]

Well a bit of a dumb question, but since I ordered the wrong thing once I need to get it right the second time!

I've got a 2000 Javelin Odyssey and it is RSL ready but doesn't have the RSL. I emailed Chutingstar and ordered an RSL lanyard and just got delivered some funky RSL Universal Lanyard with Pin (that's the description on the packet).

It seems I inadvertently managed to describe something that I didn't know existed and ordered it

So what is an RSL lanyard for? It's basically a reserve pin with a few inches of line and a small piece of velcro.

Cheers,

Nigel

different RSL for different rigs. Some have a pin some pull the exsiting pin.
My old Jav had a loop that pulled the cable and extracted the pin.
Best bet would be to get it from Sunpath, give them the serial number and they'll send you the CORRECT ARE ESS ELLE

You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky)

How's yours doing?

It came from Sunpath (indirectly), they knew the model etc. I've never heard of or seen an RSL that doesn't have the snap shackle.

It's no major drama, just curious what this is for...

Edited to add: If you're at the dz this weekend I've got your mount.

Is it a 9 shaped pin with the lanyard and shackle ? Not a regular straight pin ? Then you probably also need a new reserve handle and cable with th marine eye at the end

Doubtful as the rig is pre skyhook.

He just needs a standard left hand side RSL

Yip that is all I wanted. I'll take it to the dz this weekend as I'm curious.

By the description it is the closest I can imagine.
Would be more clear with a picture.
I know what he needs.

Searched the web and this is what I got except it is from Sunpath not UPT. http://www.chutingstar.com/skydive/upt-rsl-universal-lanyard-reserve-pin

I'll speak to Chutingstar, seems there was some miscommunication as I didn't ask for a reserve pin

I don't know why they call it universal. That picture shows a Vector RSL and pin used for a Skyhook. Probably the same as a Javelin equipped with a Skyhook. It is only part of the RSL, Skyhooks are somewhat complicated.

Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

If there's one thing Chutingstar is known for, it's customer service.

Call them up and talk to a human - I am confident they will sort you out.
