AggieDave 6 #5 July 3, 2010 QuoteThen perhaps PD had been licensed John Eiff's design....? That's reasonable, although more people would probably believe that PD's elite ninja squad stole the design by infiltrating using the same black helicopters they do all their test jumps from.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

skydivefj 0 #6 July 4, 2010 QuoteThat's reasonable, although more people would probably believe that PD's elite ninja squad stole the design by infiltrating using the same black helicopters they do all their test jumps from. ah!, makes a nice story but they have been developing it for a while, I saw a prototype in Dubai when I was there, it seems they have put a fair bit of fabric and thread into it making it just right. There is a good market for those, so all credit to PD for developing it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LloydDobbler 2 #7 July 14, 2010 A buddy of mine was jumping a prototype Zero a few weeks back - had nothing but glowing things to say about it. (The real cool thing was seeing a canopy with the serial # 0001 - that was a beer-worthy event for me.) Anyway, nice to see PD pushing the envelope with a different canopy discipline. Signatures are the new black. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both manuals were written by Jim Hayhurst. I remember Jim jumping an Eiff prototype at the 1984 Canadian Nationals. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 558 #9 December 6, 2010 How does the pack volume of a ZERO compare with an Eiff or a newer Parafoil? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
