LoneStarRigger

That's brilliant. I've also been in touch with Leona & she has some other artefacts from Lone Star that she's putting together. I'm also emailing Clark to see if he has the original measurements for the airfoil cross sections & line lengths.

Thanks John, could you ask if the person you gave the manual & tapes to would be able to make digital copies of them. I'm very interested to listen to the tapes. Getting an account of what the kit was like to build from someone who actually made & jumped one would be great too. If anyone knows someone with an unbuilt kit somewhere which I can copy the patterns from, that would be a great help.

Do you have the contact details for this guy? I'm looking to archive this project for the future & would like to make templates of the parts.

Hi Everyone, I've just started Rigging & been given a pdf copy of the LoneStar Parachute manual. It looks like a great project to get experience with parachute construction. From doing some research it looks like the manual came with the fabric parts pre-cut as well as four cassette tapes which talk you through the building process. Does anybody still have an original kit hidden away in a cupboard somewhere? I would vey much like to make templates of the originals & also make digital copies of the cassettes to preserve them for the future. If anyone can help or offer any suggestions or information it would be greatly appreciated. Martin :-)
