dropoutdave 0 #1 April 16, 2005 Just found this on ebay, it looks like it has 10 cells on it and some sort of a harness but seem far too small to paraglide with. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=91561&item=7148362375&rd=1 ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

mdrejhon 8 #3 April 16, 2005 I won't comment on the paraglider (not qualified as a newbie), but I will comment as a photographer. As a photographer, I can tell you it's hard to judge the size of things at certain angles, especially when reference objects are not right next to it. My estimation of the width of that paraglider is about 12 to 15 feet wide, but it looks smaller (i.e. 8 to 10 feet wide) due to photography angles and lack of clear size reference (in the air photo), and the wrinkling (in the ground photo). Ask him about the sizes, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 15 #4 April 16, 2005 That honestly looks like a first gen paragliding canopy where they just took skydiving gear and made few mods and tried to fly it.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EvilLurker 2 #5 April 16, 2005 It looks pretty big in that shot where it's layed out on the grass. At least to me it does. 350 ft^2 would be my uneducated guess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piisfish 135 #6 April 16, 2005 Yep it IS a paraglider, but as Phreezone, it's very old... Squares disapeard from the sky around 10 years ago... And that kind of very light harness tooscissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adamsr 0 #7 April 16, 2005 yeah i was gonna say, from the looks of the harness alone it looks very VERY retro, must be a pretty old piece of kit!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
