I'm interested if it will pass a repack. My Softie canopy about the same age just checked bad so I need a chute to finish this season and maybe a couple more. Bob Kibby Discus-2T N722BK (817) 223-1396

What steerable parachute did you upgrade to?
I am considering a steerable parachute purchase.

I switched to an Aviator P-124

Way more steerable than a round canopy.

I bought a Wingman by Paratec
It is a German company that make great chutes and have invested a lot of time talking to the glider pilots and what they need
Not only can you steer but you can also flare and arrest your fall to save your legs
Not really cheap but have no life limit even in Europe

They cost about â‚¬3000 plus postage
Well worth the extra when you consider the benefits

I looked at there website, it doesent look to be "TSO" approved (i might be wrong) and if not it would not be legal to use in the US.
