Ballistic Rocket Chute FS
I have a rocket deployed ballistic recovery chute for sale on ebay. It
is a Second Chantz model Aerosafe 550. One or two dents in the case but that should not affect it's functionality. It is used... but never used. It should be re-packed by a parachute rigger before being mounted on an aircraft. Starting bid $100, no reserve and no fake bidding BS. Buyer to pay your own choice of shipping and insurance. With a little bit of care and a repack, you can save hundreds or even thousands compared to a new BRS unit. I do NOT check this e-mail ever, so if you have questions contact me via the ebay auction messaging. |

Ballistic Rocket Chute FS
Warning, these Second Chantz units are ALL out of date and there is NO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! |

Ballistic Rocket Chute FS
Hi Group
I have a Chinook wt 11. It was weecked & had a nondeployed 2nd chantz Chute on it. It is in grate condition, but was instaled in 1983. So I called sevral co that packed chutes. No one would touch it. I even called BSR. Now this is what I found out.These chutes have a life span of 8 yr for safty. I was told they might be good up to twevle yr, but that is pushing it. Repacking is done only on the orignal manfucture of the chute. One co. will not touch another chute. I was told that my chute had a cnance of less than 50/50 of working & that was only if water nad not leaked in some how. So nevadaflyer is right in his post. Paul J.

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? |
