“Pre-owned is very different from Used.”This large 22 gore PDA emergency reserve parachute with paraswivel has been recently inspected and repacked. It is pre-owned but has never been used, so it’s still clean and 100% undamaged. The bridle is 95% clean and is undamaged. The deployment bag is 95% clean and is undamaged. This parachute has a Pulled Down Apex (PDA) design for a lightning-fast opening-time and a slow descent rate. This parachute was built to the highest possible standards, with top-of-the-line materials and workmanship: Built proudly in the USA with V-tab construction, Dacron lines, and a Type-18 nylon bridle (the industry standard).Manufactured by Free Flight Enterprises (FFE), and sold by Wills Wing, this parachute (or one comparable to it) would cost $697.00 if purchased new today. Best if used by a pilot who's body weight is 230 lbs. or less (plus an allowance for approx. 100 lbs. of hang glider, harness, clothing, etc.).Read Wills Wing's PDA webpages at: and, It comes complete with:rapid-opening, state-of-the-art deployment bag with integral deployment handle and pins.blue anodized paraswivel dedicated 25' Type-18 Nylon hang gliding bridle for high strength and low pack volume - may be modified for use in paragliding...contact me with questions. ~~ The attached photos show a very similar PDA parachute that was previously sold. ~~~~ The parachute offered for sale here is very similar to the one featured in the attached photos. ~~This reserve parachute is ready to be properly installed into the parachute container that’s built into your hang gliding harness…or, you can add a separate parachute container (not included) and use this parachute with just about any other harness.It’s often been said that reserve parachutes are good for twenty to thirty years if well cared for. Keep your parachute clean and dry, store it where it won’t be exposed to high humidity or extreme heat, and inspect & re-pack it every 6 to 12 months. Note: Hang Gliding and Paragliding are forms of aviation which are considered hazardous sports with inherent risks. You must have proper instruction from a qualified instructor before undertaking any aspect of Hang Gliding or Paragliding. Fly cautiously, because you are safer if you don’t get into an emergency than you are if you need your reserve parachute to get out of one. No reserve parachute is 100% reliable, and no one should intentionally ride one down except to escape from an actual emergency. Seller accepts no responsibility or liability for the purchase and or subsequent use (or misuse) of this item, or any subsequent consequences, including property damage, injury or death. No warranties are implied or extended. By bidding on this auction you are agreeing with the above statement and hold the seller harmless. If you need to find an instructor in your area, feel free to ask seller about instruction in your area or consult .Safety Policy and Return/Restocking/Repacking Fee: It is the policy of this professional facility to perform a fresh repack & inspection (value: $50) just prior to shipping out a parachute.

This return/restocking/repacking fee will be either 10% of the purchase price, or $50, whichever is greater. Why is this our policy? Put yourself in the position of the next buyer. How would you feel if you purchased a parachute like this, and we shipped you one which had been repacked ‘recently,’ then shipped to some stranger who you don’t know, then returned by that stranger to us, and then not inspected/repacked again? Wouldn’t you insist that we give the parachute another inspection (which then requires repacking) before shipping it to you?
