Nah, I wouldn't call three of anything hoggish. I have 75 vintage Estes checkerboard parachutes. Now that's being a hog. However, I did restrain myself and didn't bid on the last two that I saw on eBay.

Default Just Chute Me

I only have one,a 20" Centuri that I bought just to collect. Have you found some of the older parachutes disintegrate? I have a couple that are in 90's kits that are NG! Chinese ones,maybe they died of lead poisoning...

Personally, I've never had any 'chute quality problems. Only "end user" problems.
