  • Chute for Loan/Rent for about 3mo in CA?

    From Chris Behm@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jun 19 19:44:52 2022
    Gents/Ladies-

    I have a chute on order, but it is 14 weeks away.
    I imagine that someone has a usable chute that I could borrow with a repack before and after, somewhere pretty close to me in Southern California?

    I just bought a glider and will be anxious to fly it as soon as I am checked off to do so but would like to wear a chute from the first flight, and while I "fit" with the seat up and the pedals back, being 4" or so further forward won't hurt either.

    If you have a lead, let me know.

    Thanks.

    Chris

    Thanks for the offer Richard!
    I would like to avoid owning two chutes, and I really like the specs of the Butler chute.
    I am hoping to find a loaner.

    I'll be sending you some business soon, I know that!

    Kind Regards,
    Chris
