I'm overseas right now so can't look up the spec's on my Strong chutes,
bought new years ago, but believe they're the 306, and I LOVE them.
Very comfortable, lumbar pad, no sheepskin.
The one regret is I bought them in same OD green as the new Hooker
harnesses (also 100% pleased); should have gotten 1 or the other in a
differing color.
But, love my Strong 306's in my Nanchang.

If you have to use the manual air start release, it requires two people
to start the airplane. One to press the tab to open the air start valve
and the other in the cockpit to start the airplane. The person on the
ground is essentially performing the function of the battery when the
start button is pressed.

The 306's are designed to fit perfectly in the military seat pan. The
304's, although also a seat pan chute, do not fit flush in the seat
pan. By flush, they fit down into the seat pan, but there is space on
the sides between the seat pack and the pan. The 306 is deeper in the
pan and fits perfectly in the seat pan. Ask Strong to explain the
benefits of the standard harness versus the aerobatic harness. IMHO,
the aerobatic harness is easier to get in to and adjust vs. the standard
harness.

Jon,
I have a pair of Strong 306... perfect for me becasue I'm short. I bought them
from Don back in 2005. I also bought a couple other parachutes from him in 2015
(used back packs) when I started flying the T6 Texan. The back pack (exact
models unk at this writing) worked perfect for me flying the T6. Don is a great
guy and all about customer service. You won't go wrong dealing with Don.

I also use the Strong 306 chutes, perfect in a Nanchang. Lower lumbar pad
on mine. No sheep skin. At 6'4" tall I don't use any back pad on my seat
at all with or with out chutes, I can stretch out my legs. =98=BA
When I got my chutes repacked the first time the packer commented on how
nice the chutes are and how they are perfect for what we want to use them
for.

Thinking about it, if it is like hand-propping... mixture, throttle, prop, air,
brakes, prime, switches, mags, and then get out and press the tab?
So, perhaps I should have written "don't touch in the hangar" in green font. Except
that I think I have left the air on, once maybe.

Subject: Re: Start valve air leak
Starting these engines with no one in the cockpit does indeed work. I've got
a wrecked YAK-50 in my hangar that proves it can be done. Guy left the air valve
open and it leaked all the air out. He then hand propped it with no one
in the cockpit, it started, rolled over chocks, and away it went. At speed.
About the time it was ready to fly, a big hangar got in the way. I got it from
the salvage yard. One wing tore right off.
A Sukhoi was accidentally started the same way. Pulling the prop through with
one P lead disconnected. Prop hit the guy. He survived.
Turning the air valve off? I've started my 50 with the air valve closed more
than once. Residual air will do it, if it is primed correctly. There's another
fellow on this list that did that too. In my case, I did not realize it until
I took off and saw that the gear did not come up and lock. They UNLOCKED,
but just hung there dangling. Dumb move huh? Yep, it was. I got lucky.
All that being said, I did use that lever once to start the 50 that I fly. Rigged
up a pulley and some parachute cord and yanked the cord from the cockpit to
open the starter valve (which had a burnt out solenoid) while hitting the start
button to energizer the starter coil while I was in the cockpit. Easy to
do in a 50, but in a 52, somewhat harder.
