crwitalia 0 #1 March 14, 2014 Hi to all ''old'' crw dogs which have jump the Pursuit.. Have you some suggest to build a fast diamond using Pursuits with original lines ( not shortened ) ? People involved are a girl using a 215 weight about 65 kg. 3 guys weighting about 90 kg. using a 230. Purpose is an ''italian'' 16way... I know that the Pursuit is a surpassed canopy, but now in Italy is the only available.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
texascrw 1 #2 March 14, 2014 I wondered where all of the old Pursuits went. Maybe Wendy(faulknerwn), topdocker or skyjumpenfool can help you. I know skyjumpenfool still does crw with F111 canopies, probably some Pursuits included, so he may be your best bet. Sorry I am not there to drag out my old Pursuit 230 to join in. Best of luck with the project. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crwitalia 0 #3 March 14, 2014 Probably all Pursuits are here in Italy...All ''worked'' with tail pocket, pulleys on front risers, x-slider ,added crossporting,base toggles .... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
texascrw 1 #4 March 14, 2014 Most of the Pursuits are probably in Italy, but not all. I still have mine and every once in a while I see or hear of one for sale here. There was one on e bay a few months ago for @$300. There are probably more sitting in people's closets that they haven't tried to sell because they think no one would buy them. If I ever run across a Pursuit 245, which I have heard of but never seen, I would probably buy it, if cheap. Wish I could be over there to help with your record. It would be fun to fly with other Pursuits again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CReW 0 #5 March 15, 2014 Bet RALPH at Western Parachute Sales has two. I heard he has at least 2 of everything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
texascrw 1 #6 March 15, 2014 In most cases that is probably correct. However, when I talked to him a couple of weeks ago, he didn't even have one of the particular item I was looking for, but then no other dealer did either. It was still entertaining to talk to Ralph though. I'll have to remember to ask him about a 245 Pursuit the next time we talk. If anyone has one, it will probably be him. Thanks for suggesting that.

faulknerwn 38 #7 March 15, 2014 The girl is gonna need weights and pulleys on the front risers! She is gonna be light. Not sure whether she would be best on top or #2. She will be too slow to dock 4th.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topdocker 0 #8 March 18, 2014 I can probably sell you 16 used Expresses of various sizes, cheap! Way better than a Pursuit! The Pursuit was the benchmark back in the day, and solid as a truck. Not sure it would be a good selection for a 16 way diamond... awfully floaty on the edges and difficult to control quickly. I like the fact that you are building stuff, though! topJump more, post less! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
