PhreeZone 20 #6 September 26, 2003 I loaned the suit out and the wing got snaged on the plane as the jumper was leaving. There are locking pins that hold sheet metal down on the door of the Casa. The jumper was all the way to the side and did'nt realize the wing was fliped over the pin as they exited. Clean tear thats about 5-6 inches long on the back of the left wing. Its in a spot thats going to take a few hours of stitch picking to open it up, patch it and then reclose the wing. The rigger doing the work is probally the best stitcher I know so I'm sure it will turn out great.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you haven't already sent it off to the rigger you know, I know a rigger who has done extensive work on all my suits with mods and fixes and whatnot, had wings opened up etc.. if you need any help with it lemmeknow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spy38W 0 #24 October 4, 2003 Ahhh, my nylon crack shipment arrived today.. Tis just a GTi, and I don't have pics, but you can pretty much look at Phree's suit, they're almost twins. I got black between the zippers. The pantz seem pretty cool, but apparently I should have ordered double extra wide instead of medium. Guess I'll have to try to stop by the BM office next week when I'm in Deland. -- Hook high, flare on time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
