skydiverek 63 #2 February 12, 2004 Right here: http://www.skycatgear.com/Shop/pilotChutes.htm I guess you can get one WITHOUT pilot chute - you may want to check into that... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #6 February 12, 2004 Look up knots on the interweb-thingy and and get some 550 cord, do it yourself. If you don't want to use 550 cord, get some accessory cord from a climbing shop and do it.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Not sure how competitive his pricing is, but he'll make them custom and would probably ship you one.
