Warning, these Second Chantz units are ALL out of date and there is NO
factory support. Buyer beware....Would you trust your life to such a
big unknown? My life is worth purchasing and up-to-date emergency
parachute system. At our school, we "test fire" old rocket systems.
Sometimes (usually the older units are more pronounced) the "result" is
not encouraging.
Save your life-don't buy obsolete life support systems!


That raises the questions:

How reliable are the others out there?
Is a plane chute an asset or a liability?
How safe are the rockets as they age?
