does it have nylon inserts in the leg straps and chest strap instead of hardware ? if so I remember this rig . I defiantly remember the velcro patch to close it. -
I have jumps on a pursuit from back in the day . A friend of mine made his first 40 or so BASE jumps on a 230 rw version . The Excalibur is more an idea than a reality , just courious about a f 111 crossbraced as a swoop type bridge only canopy . It kind of falls under the catoragy not all ideas are good ideas

If i do that a reline with Dacron will happen first . Probably just wondering would that be cool or what.

I have a 190 Excalibur with only 100 jumps on it ant have always wondered how it would perform in the base environment

In 77 I got a mark 1, navy conical,alti, and a crossbow container, for 300. I learned how to pack the P.C. into my jump masters old super pro and jumped it on my first jump. I bought my first custom rig in 81 custom racer 365 lopo lite 400, and a delta cloud for 850 i think.

I have a baby plane with less than 100 jumps on it, rings and ropes on the top skin 2 ma 1 s at the end. It belonged to D1142 and I am holding it for the museum if they want it after it opens. It is appropriately black and blue.
