Ballistic Rocket Chute FS

I have a rocket deployed ballistic recovery chute for sale on ebay. It
is a Second Chantz model Aerosafe 550. One or two dents in the case but
that should not affect it's functionality. It is used... but never
used. It should be re-packed by a parachute rigger before being mounted
on an aircraft. Starting bid $100, no reserve and no fake bidding BS.
Buyer to pay your own choice of shipping and insurance. With a little
bit of care and a repack, you can save hundreds or even thousands
compared to a new BRS unit. I do NOT check this e-mail ever, so if you
have questions contact me via the ebay auction messaging.

Warning, these Second Chantz units are ALL out of date and there is NO
factory support. Buyer beware....Would you trust your life to such a
big unknown? My life is worth purchasing and up-to-date emergency
parachute system. At our school, we "test fire" old rocket systems.
Sometimes (usually the older units are more pronounced) the "result" is
not encouraging.
Save your life-don't buy obsolete life support systems!

That raises the questions:

How reliable are the others out there?
Is a plane chute an asset or a liability?
How safe are the rockets as they age?

Hi Group
I have a Chinook wt 11. It was weecked & had a nondeployed 2nd
chantz Chute on it. It is in grate condition, but was instaled in 1983. So I
called sevral
co that packed chutes. No one would touch it. I even called BSR. Now this
is what I found out.These chutes
have a life span of 8 yr for safty. I was told they might be good up to
twevle yr, but that is pushing it. Repacking
is done only on the orignal manfucture of the chute. One co. will not touch
another chute. I was told that my chute
had a cnance of less than 50/50 of working & that was only if water nad not
leaked in some how. So nevadaflyer
is right in his post.
