wolfriverjoe 1,523 #26 December 25, 2015 jurajpetrikYes I am concerned about the 143 reserve. I've talked to three experienced jumpers on my dropzone separately and they've all said it's fine. I will probably try to get the Optimum 160 reserve, I'll be wingloading that at 1.25. Not perfect but manageable I suppose? The attitude at my dropzone is that since it's a reserve ride as long as it saves your life it's okay and it flies docile because it's a 7 cell. Again I'm just a newbie so I don't really know much. Would you jump a 150 right now? If not, why not? If not, then why would you jump a reserve that size? 7 cells aren't that much different or "more docile". The "attitude at your DZ" is pretty foolhardy."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

Anachronist 2 #27 December 25, 2015 +1 for the OP (only other experience was a Smart). I've ridden one and they fly and flare very nicely. If I had to downsize during a jump I'd want it to be on an OP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
