Fellow skydivers! =) Anyone with experiences flying the r-Max reserv? Have been given the oppertunity to buy a r-Max 138. If I do I will be loading it at 1,5. I have 2000 jumps and have been jumping mains the last ten years that I´ve loaded between 1,5 and 2,0. I´ve once landed a PD 143 and that felt really nice. I don´t just want to be able to land it. I want my reserv to fly and feel good. Thank´s for any help! / Dag

I just bought a Impuls Competition 105. It´s the same canopy as the Competition Cobalt 105. Does anyone here know the pack volume of this canopy? Need to know as I´m ordering a new rigg. I´ve been told it will pack the same as a 9-cell PD canopy of the same size. Is that right? Thanks! / Dag

I just had a word with Paratec. They measure the topskin of there canopies to decide the size. Wile PD measure the bottom skin. That should mean that the Speed 150 is closer to 140 than 150 if you measured it the PD-way. However. The Speed-reserv is a modern design and is made out of a low bulk material much like the Optimum. And Paratec tells me a Speed 150 will fit in a rigg that´s made for a Optimum 143. / Dag

Fellow skydivers! I´m about to order a new rigg. The reserv I want is a Optimum 143. But then I started looking at a Tempo 150. If you look at the packing manual for the Tempo 150, it´s suposed to pack up as small as 293 cu.in. And a Optimum 143 has got a pack volume of 298 cu.in. Is this correct? Can I really buy a Tempo 150 and fit it in a container made for a Optimum 143? Has anyone got any experience to share with me, when i comes to camparing the packing volume of these two reservs? All help is appreciated!! Blue Skies! / Dag
