View Full Version : FS: Wedge Softie Parachute -- USA


April 3rd 05, 04:19 AM
I've ordered a new parachute with a higher weight capacity so I need to
sell my current chute:

1998 Paraphernalia Wedge Softie, Free Flight Enterprises Canopy rated
for 220 pounds. Excellent condition. "Never used!" With carrying case.

Price is $950 with fresh repack. Shipping $20. Total = $970

Chute won't be available until I receive the new one (2 weeks?).

You must be eating at the resturant at the glider port! I used to fly
at Tehachapi and found it to be a wonderful experience. Lots of nice
people and a beautiful palce to fly. Cool temps, early starts. Last
couple of times I was there I was disappointed that not many private
pilots were frequenting Tehachapi, a sign of the shrinking soaring
population.

Hi Roger,

You're close, my wife used to work at the Raven's Nest and I still get
plenty of food. My main problem is I don't excercise enough. Private
ship activity at Mountain Valley Airport seems to be increasing. Also,
hangers are in non-stop construction mode and all of the currently
available hanger plots are reserved. You should stop by and give it
another try.

More info on the parachute:

The Softie website shows 180 and 240 pound weights for the Wedge but
mine has a 220 lb limit. My canopy is a 24'Preserve 1C rated at 220 lbs
and 150 KIAS max speed. The container has the conventional H harness
with B12 snaps at the legs and a thread-through at the chest.

All the best,
Steve
