Croc 0 #1 December 1, 2009 I am about to buy a CF Storm but I realize I have some questions about the pilot chute I will need and my deployment bag. (My rigger is in Florida, or I'd ask him). What size pilot chute should I get for a CF 150? If I pack using the tailpocket do I need a deployment bag? The storm I demoed used a deployment bag that helped collapse the pilot chute. If I don't use a deployment bag, what collapses the pilot chute? One last question: how come I've been working for 42 years and I'm still broke? Thanks, Dave"Here's a good specimen of my own wisdom.

(I use ZP because it lasts longer, and I'm a cheap bastard) If I pack using the tailpocket do I need a deployment bag? Quote Nope, when using the tail pocket just use the locking stow and s fold the lines do up ALL the velcro and you're good to go. Only one rubber band, told ya I'm a cheap bastard If I don't use a deployment bag, what collapses the pilot chute?

Croc 0 #4 December 2, 2009 Thanks for your input. BTW, my wife thinks I'm broke because I keep throwing money out of airplane doors, but I tell her, if they didn't want us to throw it out, why did they open the door?

Croc 0 #5 December 3, 2009 What exactly is a kill cone? My rigger didn't know."Here's a good specimen of my own wisdom. Something is so, except when it isn't so." Charles Fort, commenting on the many contradictions of astronomy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
faulknerwn 36 #6 December 4, 2009 Its a round cloth ring with a large grommit in the center. It slides down the bridle and serves the purpose of collapsing the pilot chute after opening. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Croc 0 #7 December 4, 2009 Thanks. Can I buy one or does a rigger have to make it?"Here's a good specimen of my own wisdom. Something is so, except when it isn't so." Charles Fort, commenting on the many contradictions of astronomy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
faulknerwn 36 #8 December 4, 2009 They're common in the CRW world but I don't know of any business who really sells them. Someone might see this thread and reply to you about getting one.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
