Continuing Ghengis' theme..
(Edit - It was in fact gfry that started the original thread.)
I am in the market for an emergency parachute. Given my size 6ft 2 and (relatively) small room in the RV8 I'm keen to try various configurations to see what provides the best fit / comfort before shelling out the best part of £2.5k.
Ideally, I'd find a supplier based at an airfield who would be willing to let me bring the aircraft along and assist in trying various options prior to purchasing to see what fits.
I'm leaning towards a Softie/Strong given that they seem to be very well known/tested.
So far I have contacted..
None of whom have replied to their supplied email addresses/contact forms.
Are any forumites able to point me towards a suitable softie/strong distributor who can assist me?
