riggerrob 643 #30 October 7, 2014 jimjumperFirst step, decide on the number of cells! .................................................................................. I only made one jump on an 8-celled canopy, but I stomped a dead center. I was riding past the old DZ at Arthur, Ontario and borrowed a rig to do a fun jump. I vaguely remember that the canopy was sewn by APS or FTS back around 1988. It was made of F-11 fabric and had about 230(?) square feet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hawk_63 0 #32 November 12, 2014 Hi people, Does anyone has the manual of " Lone Star (or similar, I can't remember). They made the Laser 7, Laser 9 and the Rascal," in PDF. I was promised to get one through e-mail but did not happen. If you do, please send me a copy on mdjsoko@aol.com Have a great day, SokolQuote Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites RiggerLee 61 #33 November 12, 2014 I think you have that wrong. Chafen at APS and... there was a forerunner company before they went to jail, made the laser, bogy, and rascal. Your looking for something different. Lone Star... something or other I think.

Mains and reserves in Alpherreta Ga. He became a ward of the state and Bob Chafin moved it to Texas. The 8 cell was a 254 sq ft that was a great flying canopy for the time.
