Anybody needing a new chute as a result of this contact us at the details
below for a new National parachute. Back, chair and seatpacks available,
variety of colours and 3 size canopies. One for real save we know about in
Australia.
Sure it isn't P.A. limiting their liability tail? Are there real
engineering reasons for this limitation? The Brits have just grounded some
Polish gliders for what looks to be manufacturer liability rather than real
engineering reasons.
