I have a pioneer 20 (26' round parachute). It is in excellend condition but i do not have a container and pilot chute for it. I want to make a working emergency parachute to use wile i am flying gliders.
Can i buy a skydiving container and use my pioneer parachute ( even a container with another reserve in it)?
Please help me set up this parachute as we do not have any experts here in Cyprus.
Thanks
Nicolas.

Thanks D22367. I have asked for a softy container, but the price for a new container, pilot chute, and rigging is almost the same as buying a new emergency parachute. I prefer to buy a new one for a $1000-$1200. If anybody has some used softy container and i can put together a parachute with about half that price i will do it.
Some skydiving containers can be bought at lower prices. It does not mater if it is a bit anconfordable because i need this for a second emergency parachute for when i have a passenger in the glider.
Thanks again.
Nicolas
