It is pre-owned and has been installed in a pilot's harness, but has never been used. The previous owner carried it in his harness for only 10 high flights, and then retired from hang gliding, so the parachute is virtually brand new, very, very clean, and 100% undamaged. This parachute was built to the most up-to-date contemporary standards of materials and workmanship, with V-tab construction, Dacron lines, and dedicated braided Kevlar hang gliding bridle. The bridle is 99% clean and it is 100% undamaged. The deployment bag is 99% clean and it is 100% undamaged. Brand new, this parachute sells for $719.00 USD ($995 Australian dollars) at today’s market price. Recommended for total launch weight (pilot, glider, harness, helmet, clothes, etc.) up to 330 lbs. (150 kg.). ~~~ The Conar Metamorfosi is recognised as one of the worlds finest reserve parachutes. It's back and now built by Moyes. Tested and deployed in free fall by skydivers, the Conar Metamorfosi is one of the safest emergency parachutes ever built. So unique in its design, it has its own patent. The Conar was invented by aviation enthusiast Angelo Crapanzano, of Metamorfosi, Italy in 1999. It was and still is an innovative pull down apex design of high quality, reliability and security, chosen by many of the worlds top pilots for their own security. Moyes have now obtained the manufacturing rights to produce the Conar and to cater for the high demand of this superior reserve parachute. The same stringent testing and superior manufacturing will be provided by Moyes. The quality of the Conar reserve has been demonstrated by hundreds of openings and has an unsurpassed range of features. Made from premium quality, lightweight materials, it has a unique fabric cone located in the vent which allows the parachute to open quickly; this is critical at low altitudes, helps reduce sink rate and improves stability Pulled down apex reduces sink rate and opening time. Reversed Apex cone further reduces sink rate, increases stability and reduces opening time, which can be critical at low altitudes Reduced surface area increases deployment speed Reduced weight facilitates the throwing action and improves deployment at low airspeeds Free fall tested to 150 metres, over 180 km per hour Currently available in 3 sizes
METAMORFOSI: Conar Metamorfosi has manufactured its famous rescue parachutes for hang gliding and paragliding since 1982. Hundreds of emergency deployments have proven their reliability. Thanks to the new patented design, the Conar (acronym for Cono Apicale Rientrante, which translates as Apex pull down cone), offers incredible performance - proven by comparative tests - but still maintaining the best reliability.
