Parachute 20 year limit

I called Red. *Red reports twenty years is max age that he will repack regardless of condition. *Seems like a very good fellow to know for my repacks once I get a newer chute. Lane No matter who you use, with the price of gas, it makes sense to call UPS Ground. For a chute older than 20 yrs, it makes sense to ship it back to the factory for the repack. It might be a few dollars more, but the factory will test the fabric and then do the repack. It makes more sense than driving a round trip just to drop off one parachute and then another round trip just to pick it up. (I even had to do three trips one time because the rigger decided not to open the shop that day) |
