Looking for Parachute... New or Pre Owned
I am looking for a parachute and welcome any suggestions.
Any thoughts regarding Back or Seat style? I understand that Strong and National are popular... Thanks Steve |

For what glider? What is your height and weight?
One size and type does NOT fit all. W.J. (Bill) Dean (U.K.). Remove "ic" to reply. "Steve B" wrote in message . com... I am looking for a parachute and welcome any suggestions. Any thoughts regarding Back or Seat style? I understand that Strong and National are popular... Thanks Steve. |

There are some older Security chutes that come up for sale. While they are
very comfortable, there are several parachute packers that will not do a repack. So, use caution in considering a Security. GA |

What I was leaning toward is a chairback style... I will be flying a
sailplanes in a reclined position with limited headroom. I was curious if the folks out there that use parachutes have a preference for a specific design that would be comfortable as well as practical. I would think that a backpack or chairback design would work for what I need. Just curious what some flyers think from their experience. For what its worth a parachute is an item that I do not plan on utilizing :-) smile Steve "W.J. \(Bill\) Dean \(U.K.\)." wrote in message ... For what glider? What is your height and weight?
