maggott 0 #1 March 21, 2005 It's been too long! (or maybe not long enough) but I have an ancient rig... A PC! I am thinking of adding a second pilot chute (as we used to do)... it's been so long I can't remember how the second MA1 was attached... Anybody out there remember? The internet has not been helpful so far...~Maggott __________________________________________________________________________________ "Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone?"

cvfd1399 0 #2 March 21, 2005 whenever you figure it out post a pic I have got to see a dual PC set up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maggott 0 #3 March 21, 2005 I know I've got a picture of it somewhere...... I just can't remember where! As soon as I get it figured out... I'll snap a shot of it and post it... the rig is as ugly as sin.... but the canopy's not too bad. I guess I should post a "wanted" for a cool, Para Pro harness and container (that was the first sport rig made for the PC...) it would sure be better than the extended B-4 container that I had back in the 70s and like the one I have now! There're not a lot of PCs for sale on the internet though!

wmw999 2,123 #4 March 21, 2005 I used to use someone's dual PC cheapo rig. It was tough to pack. The two PCs were attached on separate bridles to the apex. One was about 1' longer than the other. They were packed next to each other. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nitrochute 2 #5 March 21, 2005 there were at least 3 ways to do it.first and most common was to simply attach the 2nd p.c on the same bridle as the first(using the same loop).drawback is the pcs tend to fight each other as neither one is exactly vertical.the 2 nd way was to attach a second pc and bridle to the same point on the top of the sleeve or dbag.3rd way is to use something like an nb 8 pc with the grommet in the top and run a bridle through the lower pc to the second pc.there are some pics in poynters parachute manuals.

cvfd1399 0 #6 March 21, 2005 I thought about a set up like that while day dreaming. I figured the PC's would dance around each other and entangle and choke each other off. I also thought about a Dual PC on the same bridle. A smaller one on bottom, and a larger one above it attached to the apex of the smaller one. I know it is impractical, but would be cool to look at.

maggott 0 #7 March 21, 2005 Outstanding! Thanks! I just set it up using two on one bridle... I remember that is how mine was set up... I do remember that neither being vertical neither reach their full potential... I'll give it a spin... and then I may try double bridles as well. Thanks for the prompt reply!~Maggott __________________________________________________________________________________ "Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone?"

maggott 0 #9 March 21, 2005 I haven't jumped it yet... it's just that the damn things so big and heavy... I want it to have all the pull possible, and enough spring to clear my burble. I remember massive pilot chute hesitations on my old rig... and was a little surprised that this beast only has one pilot chute... I had an extra MA1 kicking around, so I figured "why not throw it into the mix?". It's not just a rig; it's a nostalgia trip
