Hey riggers - especially old guys like me! I have a very nice Delta II Parawing that I want to put into a modern, airworthy, piggyback harness/container system. I'm only guessing that I should look for something that would hold a modern 280 sq ft main. As modern canopies might pack smaller, is this big enough? Since I'll probably be finding one online, I would like to have the container size nailed down before purchasing something. Can anyone confirm that 280 is correct, or what the correct size should be? I'm setting it up with a BOC. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hey Everyone: Like a lot of you, I grew up on rounds, made some Para-Commander jumps, and then bought a Strat-o-Cloud. I always thought, though, that the Delta II and the Paradactyl were the most beautiful canopies in the sky. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Anyway, I've talked to some really helpful folks, and have convinced myself that my first choice is a double-keel Paradactyl, and my second choice is a Delta II. I am NOT obsessed with the idea of jumping a completely vintage container and setup. But I am somewhat obsessed by jumping one of these canopies, so my plan is to find one, get it inspected, and put it on three-rings in a modern container with a modern ram air reserve. I'm asking for help locating either a double-keel paradactyl or a Delta II. Any help or leads you might be able to give me are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Now, the "why the hell do you want to do that?" comments can begin. :)
