All 28 Foot C-9
Parachutes I sell have the Waters 4-Line Release Steering System. After
the parachute is open look up on the rear risers (you have two front and
two rear risers), look for the RED lanyard which activates the
release, put your fingers thru BOTH THE LEFT & RIGHT RED lanyard
and PULL DOWN SHARPLY AT LEAST ARMS LENGTH - keeping your fingers
in the RED Lanyard (do not let the RED Lanyards go - keep holding them).
Once you release the 4 lines connected to the rear of the parachute you
will thrust forward at 6-8 mph. To turn - pull down aggressively on the
RIGHT RED Lanyard to go right, pull down aggressively on the
LEFT RED Lanyard to steer left. Remember you are responsible for how
this system works so make sure at the next repack you ask the Parachute
Rigger to show you the Waters 4-Line release and how it works. Any
questions give me a call, 978-433-8550 or email me at
