Got a Wildman Sport kit for my birthday. WooHoo. Santa Clause was running a couple months behind. My first fiberglass build. I've done all the sanding needed and the dry fit. Now I am ready for assembly but thought I would get some advice and opinions from the good folks here first.
I read in a build instruction thread to use an Aeropack RA29P retainer. Has anyone used a Slimline or PML HAMR with Wildman kits? I like the fine threads on the HAMR better than the Aeropack, but that is just splitting hairs.
I want a parachute that is something other than a piece of flat fabric with strings attached. Anyone know of any reasonably priced hemispherical chutes? Looking at Topflight Crossfire or X Type parachute. I'm not paying 50 plus for a fruity chute.
I have got about 25 foot of 3/16" bungee cord. Could I use about 10 foot of that for my shock cord? I have some kevlar thread to use to attach it via swivels.
Thanks,
Mike
