Just curious but how did you 'inherit' the wing and what happend to the pilot?
No, but couldn't we do this together? I am a Hg pilot, but against segregation. Bart Doets

That's interesting. If they don't have a pilot chute, how does the bag come out of the container and unstow the lines? Or am I missing something here?
How about 'Sky Pilot'

Thanx in advance!
