at your weight if you lose a bit a B or C will work. But if you want a Parachute and can find one a D or E may give you more margin.

In review of the list of 1-26’s on this web site, some indicate “Deregistered”. Most likely, what does this mean? Thank you.
Bret, Where are you located? If your not heavy I may have one for sale that is located in the Los Angeles area. Its the one I got in the estate auction and you saw the thread. Sadly I need a D or E model for my weight. This is a B model Serial Number 390. My search begins for one that will fit me while I work on the B model to get it flight worthy.
