Hemberg Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Hate to spend money on it but it's time to replace the reserve, the one I got is from 99 and I it's on the small side. My weight with motor is about 120 kg and I think I have the mayday 18, think I'll use the apco mayday 20. I had much trouble fitting the one I use in the outer container that is provided by pap, it was tight, so I'm not so sure a even larger would fit well. What reserve parachute do you use in the pap rescue system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Have a look at the Gin light weight ones. They are tiny when packed. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Bande ... 52&bih=509 SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clivefreeman Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I got a mayday 20 In a large pap over head container. Was a nice snug fit !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemberg Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 hmm large pap over head container. Are there different sizes? Can only see one in their webshop. It could be that mine isn't packed tight enough maybe. http://www.high-adventure.ch have the beamer 2 as well. very light ( 2kg) and very low sink rate, fast opening and most important steerable. [youtubevideo] [/youtubevideo] getting expensive but I could consider it maybe. I think I'll do a better research on what I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1buell_wl Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 http://www.para-test.com/index.php?opti ... &Itemid=49 130 at 4.19 man thats nice! http://www.para-test.com/index.php?opti ... &Itemid=49 Same opening time as Gin 5sec I did not see where it opened in 2sec 1.9k is not to bad But the Gin comes down at 5.5 5.4 allot faster. I like it! I have the Supair Ultra Light M and I had the same probelm (little heavy on it with motor) I want to pick up a large and put the M back on my gliding harness. I also have the gin large but its like a brick its so heavy. Its 2.6k (anyone want to buy it? I have a med supair gliding harness too like new lol. I really like the Supair Xtralite Large at 1.3k. For me it packs up really small and fits under the ABM arm of the miniplane. I like the idea of over head chute but the thought of panic, being wipped around and trying to find the handle of my resurve over head does not work for me. I like it under my arm easy to access and grap/throw. T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemberg Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 at the moment I'm considering the kortel http://www.korteldesign.com/spip/?Krisi ... lo-130,223 One nice feature with that one is that you can throw it as a normal chute and it has no vertical speed until you engage the brakes. So best of two worlds. For free flight that certainly is good, if flying close to a mountain. The kortel and beamer 2 is practially the same and what I have read about the rogallo type is that they open faster, which is confirmed by pilots and videos. in the information on kortel site it claims 2 seconds which seems to be correct if you look at some youtube clips of the beamer. (The reports says under 5 seconds) I'm considering the guided mayday slt as well since I can get it slightly cheaper, but there isn't enough information about it.

s1buell_wl Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I would like to see what it packs down too. I wonder if it would fit under the arm like my supair. I didnt see the under 5sec. Sick as hell today! You want to know pain? 50 guys flying and your toast in bed. Want even more pain???? You get to watch them from your window lol Send me some video links if you get some time. I'll look tonight I can't see vids at work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemberg Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 haha have to be completely awful to be able to see them. All I need is a blue sky in my office window to get paralyzed by it. Didn't save any links but if I happen to find some good ones I'll post it. Edit: here is a good one: http://vimeo.com/47768272# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemberg Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Beamer 2 rescue is on its way to me now. Hope it'll fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
