selling main canopy

Recommended Posts

The dbag, pilot chute, and risers are all components that go with the container, not the canopy.

Keep the links on the canopy and see if you can get a line card to keep everything in order for the buyer.

when selling a main canopy...do you include the d bag and pilot chute or does that go with the rig????



The lines and slider are part of the canopy, pretty much everything else belongs to the rig. Toggles, risers, d-bag, bridle, pilot chute, deployment handle, you name it.

Think about it. Those components must fit the rig. They are designed to work with a particular rig design and vice versa.

Your rig could be equipped with a ZP pilot chute while the buyer's rig is approved for F-111 pilot chutes only (or the other way around). And the pilot chute must fit the rig's BOC pouch of course.

D-bags (and containers) not only come in different sizes, but in different shapes too. For example, a Voodoo d-bag probably won't fit into a Dolphin except maybe by (extreme) coincidence.

Not so sure about connector links though. They seem pretty universal so you may choose to keep them with the rig or send them with the canopy. Probably works fine both ways.

Sure it works great if you want to give the seller a knotted mess of lines. :ph34r:
