rhys 0 #1 October 30, 2006 I never checked the line attachment points on the GLX when I saw one? has anyone whacked a RDS on one?

chachi 0 #2 October 30, 2006 I am fairly sure you can do it. I was working on some harness stuff yesterday and we were discussing it. The maximum loading / deployment speeds were high. I imagine a slider for a VX and a RDS would be all you would need. It would fly to big to be fun for me so I doubt I will try it. My JVX 87 is way more fun out of the airplane.

It was direct bagged and the pilot is a pro...it didn't look fun!!!Faith in a holy cause is to a considerable extent a substitute for lost faith in ourselves. -Eric Hoffer - Check out these Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 3 #4 October 30, 2006 I don't know why it would be a big deal. The GLX is just a larger version of the canopy that Jim jumped in the first world meet of canopy piloting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rhys 0 #6 November 1, 2006 It was just intersing me as we have done hop'n'pops above a 4000' hill in new zealand and swooped the side of it. so the glx would be ideal for the flight but a normal parachute for the deployment!"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pressuremedia 0 #7 November 15, 2006 you need to put slider stops on the canopy if you want to use a slider for deployment. other than that should be fine. go for it rhyso! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
