ParaShoot 0 #1 November 3, 2007 Today I just came across this PC type canopy. Is this a so called Crossbow? What would be the pack volume compared to a PC Mk1? Will a Mk1 fit the tight fit container of this Sierra? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkwing 4 #2 November 3, 2007 No, it isn't a crossbow, which was much earlier. I forget the details, but it seems that the Sierra was a later, more RW-centric canopy, lighter weight and lower volume, perhaps more like a Strong Starlite (shudder, for personal reasons). If the Sierra is snug, I doubt seriously that a PC would fit. I'm sure someone will chime in if my memory banks are messed up (likely). -- Jeff My Skydiving History Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerryBaumchen 1,081 #3 November 4, 2007 Hi darkwing, You have it correct. It was Security's answer to the smaller canopies; Piglet, StarLite, etc. JerryBaumchen PS) By then Security was just chasing trends rather than setting them; this (IMO) what lead to their demise; oh, along with the change of ownership that ran them into the ground.

howardwhite 5 #4 November 5, 2007 This is how Security advertised it in the September, 1977, Parachutist. HW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
