Default Compare MRX with PF Portable

I do not work in tech, but If I did, I too might want to try out a new product with a few technically knowledgeable users to help me identify and correct problems. However, I would hope that I would do so BEFORE trying to sell the product on the open market.

What type of parachute do you use? PowerFlarm appears to cost between about $1600 to $1900 in the US. Parachutes seem to be in the $1700 to $2200 range. Hmm, I have not actually used my chute except as a seat cushion. I wonder if it's actually a beta test version...

You cannot update a parachute with a USB stick.

That's true, however, I am pretty sure Strong knew the chute had a reasonable chance of working as advertised when they sold it. No updates necessary.
