Thanks for that. I had read a number of postings about Bulldog spins on the recent spinning thread in the Instructor's forum and have heard various stories about Dogspins from other sources. As it happens I hope to be forming a group around another aerobatic aircraft soon and am trying to presuade the other group members that we should add parachutes to our desired kit list. If they don't agree, I'll buy two myself. Does anyone have a recommendation of a good source for modern chutes and how much one should expect to pay for something with a reliable reputation?
