Luckily the response didn't exceed my supply by too much. I need
to contact other prospective manufacturers. Perhaps, a paraglider manufacturer
overseas with lower production costs would be interested. A reasonably skilled
individual can make these with just a home sewing machine. My sewing skills are
too slow for production and so I only build experimental and prototype drogues.

I sold an extra large custom drogue to a certain European comp pilot and will be
interested to get his feedback. I know the pilot and he has the skills and need
to be able to land in a small area surrounded by obstacles in Alpine valleys.

That is the way it is where I fly in SoCal and many potential X/C lines are
simply not safe without effective and reliable glide path control. Some US comp
pilots purchased the FFE drogues and hopefully they generate interest among
other pilots.

Two important factors for hang gliding given the tremendous improvements in
paragliders are:

1 - The ability to turn tight and slow with a moderate bank angle in narrow
thermals

2 - Land in a small area surrounded by obstacles. This is why at 165# bare
weight I will be flying a Sport 3 170 very soon and why I use a larger version
of this drogue.
