pchapman 279 #3 December 17, 2011 Black & rainbow, very nice! Looks like it is being sold by the widow of "Strange Dave" -- there's an obit for him in the "In Memory of" Forum this past August. She's got a few other canopies and rigs for sale too. Asking prices are high though. Edit: Strange was "strange" on dz.com, but only posted a handful of times over the years. He was still looking for parts for vintage gear as of last year. Too bad he didn't contribute more here after many years of rigging & jumping at the Gulch etc. There must have been a few stories.

anj4de 0 #8 December 19, 2011 QuoteOne of my favourite canopies too. Looking at those pictures this is a canopy for "petite" people. But it for sure looks good! cheers UweFor once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return. -Leonardo da Vinci Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fastphil 0 #9 December 19, 2011 I had a red one; it's a round with enough performance for CRW. Openings were a little brisk but I lived through several hundred of them. If I remember right mine came with a slider that I did away with. I also cut mine away on several occasions... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

See sig line. Thanks for the link it was worth a lookee. In respect to daves widow I'm going to keep my mouth shut. I was hopeing the grim reaper ripcord handle was like Weird Waynes (rigger from eloy) he was on some kind of RW team that had the handles custom made for the team members. The handle on ebay looks different.R.I.P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the great land of Ebay there has been some outstanding bids, If you wait to long you might miss out on a great deal. EnjoyOne Jump Wonder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
