Apex RAS slider system on other rigs
Has anyone been using the Apex RAS slider system? your thoughts? and has anyone tried to use it on an Atair setup - say a Vision/OSP with a Hybrid3? compatibility issues? thanks

Re: [baseDragon] Apex RAS slider system on other rigs
While the RAS system hasn't been tested on every possible canopy and container combination we have seen it used on a variety of non-Apex canopies/containers without issue.

While we obviously can't guarantee compatibility with every system on the planet, we have no reason to believe there would be any issue using it with a Vison, OSP, and/or Hybrid3.

Be sure to measure your current slider and order the RAS slider insert that most closely matches it. In our experience small variations in slider size make no noticeable difference in performance. In fact, I was running a slider one full size smaller in Europe (17" x 24" vs. 20" x 24") this year just to see if I could see a difference and...nothing.

When ordering your RAS you will also receive some velcro keeper tabs to stow the stainless steel slider rings while jumping slider off. These can be installed easily by a local rigger and come at no additional charge.

The RAS is an awesome system which helps make conversions from slider-off to slider-on easier, faster, and greatly reduces the potential for rigging errors. I started jumping one shortly after being hired by Apex and I'll never go back.
