PX4 had disappeared (almost) by 2001.
In 1999 we were using LLP from the Skyvan. Along with the GQ 360 Low Level Static Line Square.
I say almost because some were retained for the Dakota for a good number of years. They were modified with different length static lines specifically for the Dakota. Good job VX275 had retained an “illegal” copy of the Dak parachuting AP. Some time later, probably 2010. Trials were completed with LLP from the Dak.
