| Subject: | Re: second chantz chutes |
Hi Guys
Thanks for the input. It's not just across state lines it's across country since
I'm in Canada. I talked to the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) and they
took a report and Dunham Is now on file in Canada.
The RCMP talked to Carson City Sheriff Dept. although they wouldn't give out a
whole bunch of information they did inform the RCMP that Dunham was known to them.
Since the check was cashed in Carson City I will have to go to Carson City
to file a complaint.
I don't have a problem with this because I have never been to Carson City so it's
one more thing I can cross off my bucket list.
I will contact the US Postal Authority and talk to them to see if they can help.
The thing is it's not just the money but he also has the chute.

If it takes full throttle to taxi to your hanger then you probably have your wheels
up. The only time you have to much gas is when you are on fire.

I guess anyone who is certified can repack recovery chutes? I have a
second Chantz that would work for a Firefly or Firestar 1... Sounds as
if there is nothing I can do with it...? Could fire the rocket I
guess...? :-)
I also have a BRS 5 VLS 900 that is expired.. March of 2012... Came
off of a Challenger II that I sold... Make offer... I was told that
$1600 and change would get a repack and new rocket... The newer model is
rated at 1100 lbs and cost over 5k....If it can be repacked locally,
then the cost of a rocket is on the order of 700 bucks...Herb

| Subject: | Full wave rectifier |
If you are considering installing a full wave rectifier (fwr). First
check the voltage output of the power source. Then find a fwr that has a
higher voltage rating. The fwr will have 4 connections , one marked (+)
one (-) , the other two will be marked ac , input, or (~) .... Connect
the two ~ to the lighting coil. Connect the + - to a capacitor , if it is
an electrolytic capacitor be careful to match the + - on the cap and also
the fwr. With the engine running, check the output voltage. If it is
within the tachs input range, Then connect this combination to the
tach. When the engine is running there will be power to the tach and you
will be counting hours. You can do it with a single diode but the output
voltage won't be as steady. But a larger capacitor will help with that.
Most tachs have a fairly big voltage range for proper operation. But it is
always best to check.

A 1985 model BRS came with our Firestar wreck, but the canister was damaged. It
is in firing condition, and the chute is still in it. We will be removing the
chute and making our own hand deploy bag. Will post pictures and details when
we get that far along.
My MKIII has one of the last 2nd Chantz chutes ever sold, a soft pack which detaches
from the launch canister. Over the years I have twice sent it to Skydive
Kentucky to have it fluffed and repacked. I would call ahead and make arrangements,
at one time they had a guy who worked there who did that on 2nd Chantz
chutes. Prices were very reasonable.
Spent an interesting morning Googling hand deployed parachutes and how to repack
them, turns out there are a number of them available, as a lot of base jumpers
use them. Downloaded about a half dozen repack manuals and all of them use
the same general procedures. If anybody is interested I can post the manuals,
they are all in .pdf format.
