billvon 3,120 #27 January 31, 2003 >Ahh so it was a strato star that only had 5 cells, and way long lines. You might have been thinking of the Snyder Para-plane, an early 5-cell that had absurdly long lines. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerm 0 #28 January 31, 2003 QuoteQuoteIt's a 230 sq ft. 7-cell with pretty long lines. Are we talking a round with seven cells, or square? I would have guessed round. rounds don,t in my experience, have cells. Now it's probably a round reserve in there, but who knows...

Kinaa 0 #30 February 1, 2003 Quote You can see a picture of a Cloud here: 60's Jumper web page. I put ~30 jumps on Yugoslav copy (Kluz k1) of that Security Mini-Pig rig that can be seen on that page. And my first jumps was on rounds whit rig pretty much the same as the rig x-type that QuickDraw posted. Guess I'm a retro skydiver then.I'we found a pic of K1 on web so it is easy to see that is copy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerm 0 #31 February 1, 2003 Quote That would almost be worth buying just so you could see everyone's face when you gear up and start walking toward the plane. I have a brown 1979 wonderhog that i really wanna get repacked one of these days and go scapre some freely skygods with. Bummer is i wouldn't trust the thing in a headdown (large dirth of riser covers), and taking it to a turbine DZ would be an adventure cause of the normally sucky spots (round reserve), but i think it would be fun. bought it for $600 with a cloud lite and a 26' lopo..... 4 years ago Landing without injury is not necessarily evidence that you didn't fuck up... it just means you got away with it this time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
