Gary73 10 #1 March 19, 2015 Just came across a Strong 304 Seat rig with a canopy I've never seen before: A Strong NOPO 24 Conical (P/N 420201). Very strange. The canopy is slit all the way around between the 2nd and 3rd panels, and came with a sleeve, X-slider, cross-connected suspension lines, and a detachable pilot chute. Of course Strong's closed for the weekend now. Anybody have any information on these? Thanks!

pchapman 279 #3 March 19, 2015 Ooh, Strong Aerosport! Rare. Edit: Yes, p/n 420201 is a 24' Aerosport canopy according to my PDF manual. (As opposed to the 28' Aerosport, or 28' Aerosport HD.) Don't see the manual online anywhere at the moment but I could submit it to one of the rigging manual sites. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
councilman24 37 #4 March 19, 2015 Should be label Aerosport. DOM 95 or 96. Only on the market around there. I have two 28' versions. Nopo refers to them being made from 0-3 cfm (f-111) fabric. Manual is available on line. Check Parachutemanuals.com and ukskydiver.co.uk I think this only the 4th I've heard of. My two, one in Australia, and yours. Maybe a couple more. Free sleeve with stowed lines makes packing a Strong seat easy. This may be slightly diff. than mine but same design. Search strong aerosport on here. I serviced my two since the were new until the owner died a few years ago and I got them from the widow. Just saw photo. Think the changed name in 95. For several years in the 2000's nobody at strong new anything about them and I could find another rigger who had ever seen one.I'm old for my age.

pchapman 279 #5 March 19, 2015 I couldn't find the manual at either of those two rigging sites... so I'm emailing the admins at those rigging sites my copy of the Aerosport manual. Not sure where I got it from originally. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

councilman24 37 #7 March 19, 2015 Someone, maybe me, posted it on here a while ago. It was also added to the Strong website a few years ago. But couldn't find it last time I looked.I'm old for my age. Terry Urban D-8631 FAA DPRE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slotperfect 7 #11 July 23, 2019 Word on the floor is that we do indeed have a digital copy. The keeper of those files is at Oshkosh this week, but I will see if he can pull it remotely and send it my way. More to follow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
councilman24 37 #12 July 25, 2019 I have a 3.6 MB pdf copy. PM me emails and I'll send it out. Have two that I've serviced since new and now own. Including paper manual. But Strong used to have pdf on their website. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
councilman24 37 #13 July 26, 2019 Sent it to Alexey. Anybody else want it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
