I put a hundred jumps on a cheap-o PC in Germany and Casa Grande. I ended up giving it away.
It had sloppy openings, but never malfunctioned. Its landing rate was a little better than a typical 28 ft. Actually, the drawndown apex expanded the chute's grab.
It sure had a lot of people shaking their heads. Lots of work for very little gain. -
Steve here. Bob Iverson kind of disappeared. Bruce McDaniels succumbed to cancer shortly after 9/11/11. Ivan Beach and GlenPuff are now keyed in on this forum.
I jumped for a couple of years at the Death Zone in Casa Grande before hanging up the ParaPlane. I may make a jump this summer to join the over-60's.
Hope this gets to others.

I jumped at the gulch for two years, during the death days. Our team during the ChuteOut was the Frapp Factory. Sport Death was born there for a good reason, which I'll write about some other time.
Cartwright had a horseshoe malfunction. The last pic of him is unforgettable.
