councilman24 37 #3 June 22, 2014 Oh, and there are hydraulic reefing systems around. May or may not be sale. Try Jerry Baumchen on here for a lead and call Ralph at Western Parachute Sales. I know I saw one in the last year, some showed it to me.. Hmmm, actually I think.someone had it at the PIA symposium. Also contact Riggerlee on here.I'm old for my age.

sundevil777 102 #4 June 22, 2014 What does a hydraulic reefing device look like, how does it work?People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
councilman24 37 #5 June 22, 2014 (shaking head) Look in the manual! There are pictures.And again, you guys really need to do your own searching. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwoOtTTebW4 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4582058;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread I saw one once. Was showed how it worked. And don't remember much of anything. It uses hydraulics to resist the opening of the canopy with a line wrapped around it. When forces overcome hydraulic force it releases to allow the canopy to open. And anyone can correct me. I'm old for my age.
