    I don't believe that PD is still doing demos on the PD-R. PDR is on their list of available canopies for demo in Europe http://www.performancedesigns.com/demo_sport_europe.asp "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

    A lot of people here are saying that Jump Shack is a company that makes products from "the past", but If we have to objective, they are the only company that came up with document like this. "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

    On some rigs + a few gear designers here stated that the reserve PC should be able to create enough pull force to break the remaining loop. So lets be honest....how likely is this situation in real life? "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

    What size is your MLW? "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

    Just think about that....Cypres has activation altitude between 750 and 130 ft. If you move the upper altitude,you gonna move the lower as well. And in case of low cutaway and not finding the reserve handle,you are taking away the chance that AAD will start the reserve deployment for you. If you wanna play with your AAD,do it. Just read the manual before that. Blue skies "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

    Speed 2000 170 will fit. If you are from Spain, go for the Speed. Better price and faster delivery. But the best think to do before spend any money is to talk with your rigger. Blue skies "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

    Since the modern AAD was introduced 20 years ago, we have thousands of activations where the loop was fully cut and only one time where It might jammed the loop. Beside that, jamming the reserve PC and jamming the freebag is the same thing when talking about 1 second difference between life or dead. But those extra 3/4 of an inch closing loop trying to run trough all grommets is making a big difference.

    What I find strange is that Mr. Booth is trying to rise the opening altitude for the AAD's but he's doing nothing to place the cutter on TOP of the reserve PC on his rigs. Blue skies "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

    I'm trying to understand why somebody who lives in Germany,Switzerland or Denmark will buy stuff made in USA from a dealer in Australia???? Why not from the local dealer? Or a dealer from USA? I'm not trying to criticize you guys, I'm just trying to understand why. Blue skies "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

    I'm glad you brought that up...my old rigger use to replace mine every re-pack, I'll have to make a note to let my new rigger know that's what I want to keep doing. Even if the rigger replace the loop with the repack ( as he should), there's 180 days ( or even more) where the jumper is responsible for keeping that loop in good shape. And if the pin is in place during the pin check, the loop can be in really bad condition. When I'm packing for team, I'm doing full gear check after the first back-to back. Until now I've seen two rigs with really bad condition of the reserve loop. Both times, the rigs were grounded until the loop was replaced. Someone might ask :"why checking after the first back-to back"? Well, this is the first time I'm touching that gear.

    And when talking about the reserve pin, let's not forget about the condition of the reserve loop. I've seen too many scary looking reserve loops over the years. Blue skies "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

    The difference is in the shape of the cap. Quick 2's has a round shape. Quick 3's has the same cap, but the material is taken off from 2 sides giving an elliptical shape. And Quick 3.1 has a totally different spring and cap. Blue skies "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

    Well, I have to disagree with you. I like the design a lot. I've never heard of toggle fire on Advance risers. And they have a really cool pocket to put the tab from the soft links,so you don't have to hand tack them. The only bad thing about them is that I don't have them in my rig Blue skies, "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

    My best shoot here will be that those are Advance risers. They have a straight pin to set the half brakes. The same way like Atom risers. Nothing "off', just a bit different Blue skies "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

    It's like listening to Bill Booth's interview from this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQuJr5wuvSw (from 7:25) Don't forget about the TSO C23d requirements.
