leroydb 0 #26 April 14, 2004 I'd say mine is good, with the folllowing change: QuoteLooks pretty good. For packing ease, the center stabilizer should be a different color from the rest...but have you considered varying the stabilizer color? I bet that would look bad ass with all black stabilizers, but a blue center stabilizer. Wouldn't hurt the stealth factor, either.

TomAiello 26 #27 April 14, 2004 QuoteWhat would you say is the best color scheme for packing? As long as the center cell and center stabilizer are easy to pick out (i.e. an off color), that's the main thing. It can also be handy to have the outside cells an off color, but it's not nearly as essential as the center cell.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faber 0 #28 April 14, 2004 QuoteWhat would you say is the best color scheme for packing? it should all be black... inkluding ALL lines,that way its easy to make faults that cant been seen before opening QuoteI'm concerned more with packing right than getting busted or looking good. Looking good is evrything.. if you does so,you got away uninjuryed,and whith no bust/attention okay,i better get a jump now... Stay safe Stefan Faber Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hookitt 1 #29 April 14, 2004 I'd agree that yours is pretty good too. It's still just a parachute so if you understand it well enough, it shouldn't be much hassle no matter what color it is. I do like the center cell being a different color though. It makes it easier to pack in dim lighting conditions. If you don't already have one, aquire a red[/#] LED light. Keep it in your BASE kit or on a key chain. Red doesn't mess with your night vision and it's much less noticeable from a distance than white light.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...

ManBird 0 #30 April 14, 2004 Thanks, Tom. And to clarify (even though no one mentioned it yet), it's not that I don't care about getting busted, it's that I'm only jumping very low-risk or legal objects. I also sort of cater to the theory that if you get busted, it probably would not have been preventable by your canopy color selection (in most cases)."¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
