nacmacfeegle 0 #2 April 10, 2003 Shamu! I'm not a rigger but the last time I hooked up a new canopy it took me about 15minutes -max- to do this on my spectre (brake settings marked on the lines).-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

councilman24 37 #5 April 10, 2003 To attach the steering lines, if the canopy is laid out and straight, 5 minutes. Assemble a new canopy to the risers completely, 30-45 minutes. Fully assemble, including bag and PC, and INSPECT a new main on risers, at least an hour and a half. More like two, depending on the level of inspection. Add a little time if your taking it off old risers, add more time if it's not on risers or a card and is all tangled up. Pick an answer that matches the question your really asking. Your results may vary. The level of inspection can vary from "yep, its a parachute" to examining every inch and every stitch, inside and out. I'm old for my age.

TheMonkey 0 #6 April 10, 2003 i will interject as the donkey of reason (meaning i am not a rigger either and was very fortunate to make it thru puberty), take as much time as you need to do it right! releasing brakes and having the line pop off the toggle would not be money! i can name that tune in 4 notes.... --------------------- Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience!

riggerrob 643 #7 April 10, 2003 Hang up canopy, assemble to risers and d-bag, including tying steering lines, expect 25 to 35 minutes, 45 minutes if there is any paperwork. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjosparky 4 #8 April 10, 2003 One hour + or - is about right. When you think you have it all done, have a rigger look it over. Remember this sport does not allow mistakes. SparkyMy idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
