All the ones I know of use Dacron. Is that what you meant?



No, I meant Spectra just like I said. You are correct though, Dacron is common. I took the Dacron off of my RDSs because of the line burn it was causing on my canopies. Admittedly I use the RDS at high loadings at terminal which is beyond what PD recommends.

Originally I considered building one out of dacron, but comparing the dacron I have sitting around with the material the lanyard I have, it feels as though either the lanyard is made of a different material I couldn't identify, or is coated.

The dacron I have handy I think would destroy my center cell very quickly.

Keith, thanks! I DM'd you an address. Please let me know how I can repay you :)

Thanks. I haven't seen any so I've learned something today.

anything really will work but the thicker the line is, the less likely line burns on your tail are going to be... just my experience... id go with 900lb dacron...
I was that kid jumping out if his tree house with a bed sheet. My dad wouldn't let me use the ladder to try the roof...
