Freefly handle on UPT pilot chute

[antonija 0]

The picture they had on their website is gone (most of the "options" pictures are gone).

I would like a picture of how they attach handle to the PC. Is it attached via the bridle or is it sewn on PC full length like mirage?

IIRC, its fully sewn on..

I just confirmed with the UPT loft that the handle is sewn into the top of the pilot chute using the reinforcing that is built into the PC.

I've seen it and it is quite solidly built in.

Be the canopy pilot you want that other guy to be.

I believe that the "Good.jpg" is the Vector design of freefly handle.

"Bad.jpg" was used few years ago on Wings (maybe still is?)

'Good' because there is no place to wrap the bridle under the handle (see that scenario with hacky - "Knot.jpg".)

I saw that wings design at our DZ and it scared me a bit... thanks for all the info. It makes me like vector a little bit more

My Icon has the handle sewn to a stiff board piece (feels kinda like a tuck tab). That stiffener is sewn to the PC just like UPT does it. One side of the stiffener is in the spandex pouch, and the other slips under the bridle protection fabric. It keeps it really secure and doesn't flop around like the Wings handle does (I've seen the same as in the "bad" picture).
