webracer 0 #1 July 7, 2011 Can anyone provide a vendor who carries the mesh and kevlar webbing used in UPT drogues? I don't see the specific mesh or the webbing in Paragear's catalog. Thanks,Troy I am now free to exercise my downward mobility. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
captain_stan 0 #2 July 7, 2011 Bally Ribbon Mills in PA manufactures a variety of Kevlar webbing. Although they are not a "by-the-yard" retail outlet, they sell leftover roll-ends to the public. If you do your own research and give them a mil-spec # by phone or email, they can usually offer an odd-length remnant to suit your needs. (610) 845-2211 Lois at X-3012 has helped me. http://www.ballyribbon.com/ I'm not familiar with the mesh that you need, but I've used Para-Gear's #W9155 "high-drag netting" for PC construction and it looks like the matl. used in some tandem drogues. BTW, have you asked UPT for these matls? I've usually had good experience with this kind of support from mfrs. Blue skies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've found manufacturers to be very good about selling materials. I've always been a stickler for matching manufacturer's products. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
