Bit hard to get hold of really these days. You see a few double keel ones out there from time to time, but most have been jumped out. I've not seen an original single keel for sale like this one for a long time. That one in the picture used to be a reserve, so it's got very few jumps on it. You can always come out to Byron and jump it if you miss them ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canuck 0 #14 March 8, 2005 I always shudder when I hear about Paradactyl reserves. I've heard from a few people who have put lots of jumps on them as mains that they had about a 1 in 20 malfunction rate. Our pioneers had huge balls - even the girls!

Canuck They might be confusing them with the Delta II parawing. That thing was definately les than reliable. The Paradactyl carries a full TSO as a reserve, and there's really nothing to it. The hard part about jumping it is to stop it from opening too fast. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canuck 0 #16 March 8, 2005 More likely I'm confusing it. Thanks for clearing it up. Canuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
