Based on Pilot’s requests, the Gravity Retainer Flap is designed to hold the parachute down and in place while doing intense aerobatics … just as gravity does normally in level flight!
The “GRF” cushion area is 15″ wide, 15″ deep and comes standard with 1″ thick “Astronaut Foam.” The cushion area is adjacent to the parachute base, attached with a 2″ Velcro strip which allows for position adjustment and / or removal. Special channels are provided for harness leg strap routing.
The foam cavity is user accessible for making adjustments in thickness or to remove for washing. The “GRF” can also double as a seat pad.
This optional seat pad “flap” applies to the National Back Parachutes only.
