PC Question!
Avoid: The Hook, Gravity Sports Limited

Gravity Sports pilot chutes have the load tapes applied on the block, rather than the bias of the ZP material. This allows the pilot chute to stretch and deform, both over time with wear, and instantaneously during each deployment. This can result in asymmetries and oscillation, both of which can degrade opening heading.

Sly Sweet, this PC just came with my recently purchased like new Vision. This thing is in friggan amazing shape and the PC is also in great shape. What is everyones thought on this issue??

Re: [GhettoBird2] PC Question!
I also have a couple pc's with no load tapes on the zp. also no bar tack on the centerline/loadtapes and im assuming yurs is the same. I have no problem jumping them but I do want to replace my 46 with a nice new pc with the bartack and loadtapes on the zp... just cause it seems that is what most are using now...
