BATON ROUGE, Louisianna USA -- Giant Leap Rocketry, Inc. releases a line of true hemispherical panel chutes. These are higher quality and lower cost than Giant Leap's prior line of panel chutes. They come in alternating flourescent orange and white panels and incorporate 400 lbs test shroud lines attached with a high density stitch. Each includes a 1000 lbs. swivel already attached to the shroud lines.
"These have never been available to the public" points out Ed Shihadeh of Giant Leap Rocketry. He adds, "panel chutes have always been kind of pricey. The idea here was to create a multi-panel parachute of super high quality, but at prices close to those of some single piece chutes out there. All chute come with their own nylon carrying case. "This is not a bunch of panels sewn together, but a high-drag, true hemispherical chute, right out of the textbooks" Ed says. The Spherachute PLUS+ is available only from Giant Leap Rocketry.
Giant Leap also offers a brand new line of single piece chutes made by Spherachutes. These are priced substantially lower than their prior line of single piece chutes. Dealer inquiries are welcome. All parachutes can be seen under the "recovery" section at Giant Leap's webpage at http://www.giantleaprocketry.com. |
