Yeah I stand corrected its a Safire 189. Which I hav been reading about and it looks like there 8% smaller than advertised so a 189 would be closer to a 174. I'm thinking that will be alright in a month or so. Jumped a 190 today and felt pretty good with it. Maybe put 30ish jumps on that and I will be comfortable to go to the Safire 189. Thanks alot for the help guys.

Yeah I'm not too sure that's just what he said he had

Yeah that what i heard if it was made from the zero material, but the one for sale is F-111 and i heard it would be alright(but what do i know). Im looking at the complete rig thats for sale in the classifieds, Mirage G3 container with pd 176 reserve and the 218 lightning. he also has a saber 189 that he could throw in it but reading about the sizing discrepancy on them i feel that it will be too small

Im trying to put together my first rig and im wondering if a Lightning would be alright as a first wing. IM looking at a Lightning 218 and im about 200lbs out the door. I know that the Lightning is a Crew rig but from what i understand its just reenforced. let me know what you guys think. Oh and im currently at 40 jumps and have been jumping a Nav 220, Pilot 210 and a Saber 210.
