Hi,
I’m a beginner and planning to buy my first reserve parachute. My takeoff weight is around 90 kg, and I’m not sure what to look for when choosing one.
Should I go for a round or steerable reserve? What are the main differences?
Is it better to be in the middle of the weight range or closer to the upper limit?
How do I check if the reserve is compatible with my harness?
What should I keep in mind regarding maintenance and repacking?
Do you test your reserve deployment somewhere, like in a gym, to ensure it works properly?
If you have any tips, experiences, or recommendations for specific models, I’d greatly appreciate your advice. Thanks! 😊
