I’m pretty sure it will work…
About a year ago I got a very old nylon 30" parachute from a rocketeer that built rockets in his younger days but is no longer in the hobby. I have no idea how old it is, I'm guessing it is very old. It seems to have been used once or twice, but it is still in very good flying condition. It is made of 2 pieces of ripstop nylon, sewn together in the middle, and is very robust and well made. It has a small tag sewed on to it that says "PACEIFIC WIND" in bigger letters at the top, and an address I cant seem to make out other than it ends with "Beaverton Oregon". I cant find ANYTHING on google about the parachute or the company, that is why I posted here. Anyone know anything about it? (what it's worth, what time is it from, details about the company, etc.) I am pretty sure that the cloth is made from nylon, but it seems almost plastic-like. Maybe some sort of coating? Maybe some other cloth I don't know about?
