Was this a good deal?

Just bought my 1st complete rig from my DZO. Infinity container, 230 spectre, 193 reserve - no AAD. It has 10 jumps on it. $2400.

Was this a good price?

What's your exit weight?

Yes. Now, go jump.

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Sounds like a decent deal to me. Although, kind of odd that the reserve is smaller than the main

[diablopilot 2]

Not that odd. Used to be much more common in the days of F111 mains. Remeber that the PDR193 is actually larger than that as well.

You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

No it isn't odd. Not for this class of canopies.

That sounds like a good deal as long as the canopies weren't too used. The container is the important thing as long as you like it you can swap every thing ells out over the years.

Wow! Times certainly have changed when someone finds this "odd". The change to much smaller main canopies - thereby making the reserves bigger in comparison - isn't that old. It also indicates how few people actually know the history of the sport.

Even to someone jumping a Spectre? I thought that all PD canopies were measured the same way.

To the guy that started this thread, the reserve canopy flies a bit differently than the main. Try to get a demo canopy(the 193 reserve) from PD and jump it as a main.

It seems to be a pretty good deal.

Hehehe......I remember having the opposite thought a number of years ago when I downsized and realized, "Huh, my main is smaller than my reserve?"

You're right....how times have changed.

"Any language where the unassuming word fly signifies an annoying insect, a means of travel, and a critical part of a gentleman's apparel is clearly asking to be mangled."

Congrats!! I love the Spectre - that thing should keep you busy for a long long time!

I can't speak for the price, but the container, reserve, and main seem well suited to you. Have fun & welcome to the sport

It is a good idea to demo a reserve to check out how it flies. I find my PD reserve handles very similar to my Spectre my Spectre is a 170 and my reserve is a PD 176
