Parachutes

What stuff do you use for the parachute...can you use antron? I was just curious. I've always shied away from parachutes but i'm starting to get really serious.

 

Thanks

Mark,

 

If you mean for the post then antron is often used, as are other materials.

 

Cheers,

Ok I wasn't sure what that part was called...now I know. Thank you. What other Materials do you normally use for the post?

I like parachutes. They ride well and i can see them better. I like poly yarn, Krystal Flash or macrame yarn for mine.

Hmmm.... various kinds of yarn, hair, foam, CDC - many suitable materials.

Is it just me, or does the videos not come up? I have tried on Firefox and IE and all I get are the advertisements, comments and links to other videos, but the actual video isn't there.

I use Opera and it shows up just fine. To answer your questin, poly yarn, antron, calf hair/tail, CDC, wood duck feather, elk/deer hair... list goes on.

Well I just added Google Chrome to that list and I still come up with nothing. I can watch Youtube no problemo, so I wonder if it is an overzealous security setting on my computer. This sucks that I cannot see anything. I tried a search on hatches.tv and came up with a php error:

Scott try this one.. a nonvideo step by step by Dick Talleur....I've taken classes with him a couple of times; he's a good teacher.

This includes the glue off method of finishing the parachute which I sometimes favor:

Opera, dude... the most stable browser one can get.

Yes, I use Norton Antivirus, actually the whole security suite and it seems they have made it very difficult to shut it off. I have been a Linux user for a very long time and just picked up a cheap laptop with Windows 7, so it has been a few years since I have had a need for Norton.

 

No dice with Opera.
