JamieG Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Hi, would appreciate some honest advice on what the best options are for a reserve and containers for my Miniplane. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_b Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Not sure about the miniplane but you could always front mount it (on your lap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_k Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Miniplane sell there own front mount reserve and they recommend connecting straight to your main carabiners rather than onto your harness carabiners, seems a good idea to me and i will be using this set up.

JamieG Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 Thanks for replies guys. Yes, have seen the Miniplane Snip reserve and it looks good, but I've found it tricky locating a dealer in this country. Wondered if anyone is using a Gin G one reserve and how exactly it's fitted and where it connects. I'm sure the Miniplane snip has 2 bridles as it connects to the 2 caribiners, but the Gin G one has only one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_b Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 They are all basically the same, just packed different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weesplat Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Hi, you'll prob have to get the appropriate "y" bridle. It connects to the single strop from the chute to your two connection points on the harness or to the caribiners whichever you decide to use. Pretty standard that one is used. Hope that helps Cheers Col.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjenni12 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I use the Gin Yeti reserve with it's own lightweight container. http://www.ukairsports.com/catalog/prod ... cts_id=680 Its very small and light, and fixes to my left swing arm completely out of the way but accessable if needed. There is room to fit all the unused Y bridle inside the outer bag and just have the ends coming out onto the carabiners. So much nicer than having it on the front in the way (IMHO) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morgy Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Yah i have the front mounted reserve and find it does get in the way a little. But a good place to keep all your instruments so swings and roundabouts i suppose. Ozone have a new reserve out called the angle dont know much about it but worth a look also dont forget sup air light weight reserve's.
