“Pre-owned is very different from Used.”This LARGE LARA 250 emergency reserve parachute has been recently inspected and repacked. It is pre-owned and has been installed (for only a few days) in a pilot's harness, but has never been used. 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 low-bulk 25’ Type 18 Nylon bridle. The parachute is 99% clean and 100% undamaged. The bridle is 99% clean and it is 100% undamaged. The deployment bag is 99% clean and it is 100% undamaged.This parachute has a Low Aspect Ratio Annular (LARA) design for a lightning-fast opening-time and a super-slow descent rate. Proudly manufactured in the USA by Free Flight Enterprises (FFE), and sold by Wills Wing, this parachute with paraswivel would cost $697.00 if purchased new today. Best if used by a pilot whose body weight is 250 lbs. or less (plus an allowance for approx. 100 lbs. of glider, harness, clothing, instruments, etc.).Read Wills Wing's LARA webpage at: It comes complete with:Rapid-opening deployment bag with integral bright-orange deployment handle and pins. An extra attachment point is installed on the deployment bag, centered between the attachment points of the orange handle, to allow the addition of a custom deployment handle (common with competition harnesses). Blue anodized paraswivel. single-purpose 25’ bridle ...may be modified for paragliding or use with ultralight aircraft....contact me with questions. 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 a form of aviation which is considered a hazardous sport 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 you are agreeing to 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. If you return this parachute for any reason, even if you never even opened the package, you will be charged a restocking fee to cover the cost of inspecting & repacking the parachute again. 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? If you purchase this item, you agree to abide by this very reasonable return policy, given that it is a life-saving emergency parachute device. We want every buyer to be 100% confident in the integrity of every emergency parachute that they receive from us, with no exceptions.
