necessarily be comfortable in all gliders - but maybe that's not

Actually, no, I bought the Mini Softie after I figured out I wasn't very
comfortable in the 303 or the Duo. *I think he just considers Long
Softies to be the parachute that glider pilots buy...

As I am in the market for a parachute in the near future as well, does
anyone have a suggestion what type of pack would be best in a Ka-6CR?

P.S. if you have a good condition used one I'd be interested as well
