RE: jumpers and planes
For those of you jumping with Mikes from Paramax or similar:
Which chutes are you using? I am looking for something that will give me more forward speed to allow me to penetrate into this blasted Kansas wind. Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated.
I have been very pleased with the way Mike has performed and have never had a dirt dive with him (almost 100 jumps). I have had a malfunction in which a steering line got hung up once and another in which the flag got hung up in the risers but the chute has always opened. Steering was the problem both times.
I am thinking of getting some more jumpers in the future and was wondering if the giant unit that Dave sells is any better? I would prefer a unit built here in the states if at all possible.
