flyhy 0 #1 February 11, 2003 Is there any web page or other service that provides the basics of rigging? Or any good book about the important things to know? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dkpbxman 0 #4 February 13, 2003 There are a ton of rigging related books out there and reading all of them, or as much as you can would make your actual progression into being a rigger easier. Of course, there is no teacher like experience and unfortunately that only comes with time. Poynter's manuals (Vol. I & II) are considered the riggers bible and are probably the most important and comprehensive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 643 #5 February 13, 2003 Plenty of packing manuals are now published on-line. Find them on manufacturers' web-sites by going to www.pia.com and search through the yellow pages. Also go to the Australian Parachute Federation's web-site and look under publications for the only complete list of service bulletins http://www.apf.asn.au/apf_services/sb.asp.
