Old J7 for free... you pay shipping

[TomCarson 1]

I have a J7 with a Diablo 170, cypress and I think a PD190 reserve. I can not jump because I'm old and falling apart like my rig. It was stored under my house and has mold on the surface. Let me know if you want it. I'll send it if you pay shipping. I just can't get myself to toss it in a dumpster....... It has let me down over 1,200 times....

Is the Cypress airworthy ? What is the DOM ?

Thanks

Post on FB on some rigger groups - from time to time people are looking for old canopies to practice sewing skills

practicing sewing skills seems like such a waste.  it needs cleaned up and jumped some more.  after a thorough inspection of course.  mold is not a good thing in this situation from what i hear.

Advice - get your rigger involved in this discussion from the beginning.

Absolutely!!! I'm hoping it can be resurrected but if it's deemed not air worthy and can not be repaired by my rigger then I'll spend all winter practicing packing parachutes and pulling handles till I can do it in my sleep...

I appreciate the advice and you get Karma points for looking out for a new guy!!!
