sid 1 #4 January 2, 2004 Jump Shack are manufacturing the "Classic" accuracy canopy for John Eiff. You can contact him directly at the previous email, or [email protected]. pdPete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

towjumpr 0 #5 January 3, 2004 I thought Style was how you looked going to the plane and accuracy was getting on the right one.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eiff Enterprise spokesmen will tell you that the Classic is basically a Challenger with minor improvements. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GARYC24 3 #8 January 9, 2004 Howdy, Thanks for all responses. Just updating this post. I'm on my way to get a 2nd rig! Will have it paid for in a few months..don't have all the cash..and need to be jumping as well (can't do it all..har har) Anyways I got a good deal for a larger rig WRaven 3 reserve $800. Then after that I get the "accuracy canopy"..I see so far a Jalbert Parafoil is ~$1400. It'll ba a little while after the rig to get a new one.. Once again..I am going to continue puting the accuracy rig together..BUT have to admit..sometimes I wonder ''WHY" haha So, with all this any further encouraging words for getting into"accuracy" will always be welcome! Heck, if i break something I can always sell it right? Gary Calhoun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gremlin 0 #9 January 9, 2004 What size foil are you after. My team has a (I beleive) 252 coming up for sale and we are over in the USA at Easter. Interested?I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GARYC24 3 #10 January 9, 2004 I weigh 188 lb right now Eiff suggest 270 is okay, possibly 281. I really have not jumped any of these. I have 545 skydives, so maybe I could handle something not so large..or maybe I should stick to the 0.7 wing loading accuracy range. Easter? Hmm..pm me a price? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
