    If someone knows, did UPT change drogue bridle length at some point? I just got a drogue made in 2005 that was never used before. After installing it, I figured something wasn't quite right; part of the bridle under the disc is waaay too long, and part above the disc is about 3ft shorter comparing to the drogues that are in service now days.

    Any service bulletins issued regarding that?

  13. If you're not planing to jump on a tuffet, then you don't want canopy for classic accuracy, there is so many cons. Design is not for flaring, lifetime is quite short, expensive, wind limits...

    But classic accuracy is quite demanding and interesting if you have a place to do it.

    . Not sure if they are still all F-111 or have gone ZP.



    Parachutes de France had some kind of hybrid, but it didn't work out. Even new F111 needs 50- 100 jumps to reach best porosity for CA jumps...

  14. Chest strap on some Strong harnesses can get all the way to the neck on opening. It can leave pretty big marks also. Having a feeling that that guy is trying to prevent it...


    Its not best practice to be in that area with your hands tho.
