billbooth 10 #1 February 2, 2011 Help. I'm trying to locate photos of "old " canopy releases such as the Strong Wrap, the R-2 and R-3, the "Telesis", and any other "paddle type" main canopy releases. I'm sure they're here somewhere, but apparently I lack the search skills necessary to find them. I have come up with plenty of references, but no pictures. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimjumper 25 #7 February 4, 2011 It's been a few years since I went to RI's rigging course, but Sandy used to have an example board he had put together of a lot of early realeses for his rigging students. Try an e-mail to him and he might be willing to take a few pictures. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didnt always have an extra reserve backup, It was a beautiful time in American history when Insurance comp. & lawyers were pretty much minding there own business.
