OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
Tool Kit
It is highly recommended that a tool kit be assembled and carried in one of the harness pouches.
The following tools, at a minimum, are suggested for the tool kit:
Spark plug wrench (13/16”)
Metric Allen wrenches
Vice Grips
Combination wrenches (10mm, 13mm)
Screwdrivers (both Phillips and Straight)
Reserve Parachute
A reserve parachute can be fitted to the
“KOMPRESS”
, and is a highly recommended safety item.
Many different mounting locations and methods are possible and acceptable, and the one you choose
depends on many things such as which hand you want to deploy with, what type of reserve you have,
where you prefer to mount it (front, left or right side), etc. For this reason, FLY PRODUCTS cannot
make a generalized statement of what the best mounting configuration is for you. It is highly
recommend that you seek assistance from your PPG instructor on the mounting of your reserve
parachute. It is also highly recommended that you receive training (a reserve parachute clinic)
covering topics reserve deployment topics such as reserve re-packing and parachute care, performing a
PLF (Parachute Landing Fall), and when to make the decision to deploy your reserve.
WARNING!
A reserve parachute is a life-saving backup system, to be used in life-threatening
emergencies only. A reserve parachute should never be deployed “for fun” or to “see what it’s like”.
A reserve parachute deployment is an extremely dangerous event. You surrender control over your
aircraft, you have no choice as to your landing location and could land on rocks, roads, Power lines,
etc. Even with a correctly deployed parachute, your impact speed with the ground is significant. Also,
reserve parachutes are not guaranteed to deploy correctly.
Remember the expression, “A reserve parachute isn’t your second chance, it’s your last chance.”
Carry a reserve parachute, and deploy it only if it is absolutely necessary.
Speed Bar
A speed bar can be mounted to the
“KOMPRESS”
harness. Optional pulleys can be added to the
harness to facilitate the application and routing of the speed-bar.
These pulleys can be obtained from your
“KOMPRESS”
dealer.
