Parachutes service

1. Technical control of the Main

We would recommend you to maintain complete technical inspection of your Main chute every 100 jumps, which would help to constantly watch its technical state, do various small minor repairs on time, which in turn will prevent costly and extensive repairs for your Main.

5. Slider collapse setting

We can upgrade your uncollapsible slider and make it collapsible. This will help remove annoying noise of the slider at piloting and increase the speed of a canopy.

Price for services: 30 USD. 

 

6. Loop attachment to a slider

For swooping it's a common practice, when slider is stowed after opening, with a rubber band. We offer a few options here. The simplest - a small loop for a rubber band on the slider ribs. It's cheap and fast, but you have to do several wraps for the slider to collapse. We use an option where the rubber is in the center of the slider, on a special stitching. In this case you pull on the rubber, slider collapses, 1 wrap around and it stows on the fixator ball. The fastest and cheapest option. 

Price for services: 30 USD.
