Can a rig be retrofitted with an RSL?
Q. I am a student who s found a rig I d like to buy. The problem is it doesn t have an RSL (reserve static line), and where I jump, students are required to have RSLs. Can an RSL be installed on this rig and what should I expect to pay to have it done. A. An RSL can be retrofitted on practically any rig, either by the factory or a master rigger. Action Air Parachutes in Davis, Calif., installs a lot of RSLs and charges $50 for doing so. Another option is to ask your DZ if it will allow you to jump without an RSL. We re convinced RSLs are a good idea for students, but you might feel you don t need one.
