Default Used parachute wanted

Val

I would contact all the area parachute riggers who do lots of emergency chutes, like Action Air Parachutes and Alan Silver (who still sells chutes and may see used trades) I would also check in with clubs and FBOs who may know of local owners no longer actively flying or might have their own surplus parachutes.

You will want to know what glider this is for to help pick an appropriate chute. My old long Softie parachute was so wonderfully comfortable in my DG-303, but would not work well in my ASH26E or most Schleicher gliders.. and my standard Siftie chute works but is not ideal in the MDM-1 Fox...
