description="This is representative of the early ram-air-wing type of gliding parachutes developed in the early 1970's. To deploy it, use Map on the World Menu to put it at 5,000 to 10,000 ft above the surface. It steers with roll control. Use flaps to flare before landing or to come down steeply. Canopy design and FD files copyright 2004 by Tom Goodrick."
