Do you store you Parachute behind the seats? Or do you unfold them and store them flat? Im not sure if its best to store folded up like they are meant to be?

@MrMpala69conv Personally, I unfold them in storage as the blue printing on the thin plastic rubs off easily.

does anybody now how to get a skystriker without having to bid and pay alot of money for one? :(

[formbx257]

@zaccool9 If you're not a member of a GIJoe forum (like Yojoe or Hisstank) you should be. There are many members there that will trade or give you a good price. Another option is Craigslist.

I have lost one of the tail fins of my skystriker :'( .. Can anyone tell me where I can get one of those ????

@SHUBHAMSG If you're not a member of a GIJoe forum (like Yojoe or Hisstank) you should be. There are many members there that will trade or give you a good price. Last resort is ebay...

@MrMpala69conv i was lucky enough to find 7 chutes at joecon, plus seats and missiles for skystriker for 40 dollars, all rubberbanded behind the seat and never removed. i had two complete and four with just one parachute, so i was able to complete them all thanks to joecon

Your Ace's legs are pretty loose. Am I wrong?>

Like the vid. Just witht he comment on the Sparrow missle they are not heat seeking but are radar guided . The Sidewinder is heating seeking. I have one of the 2011 ones on order so keen to see the differences in the vehicle.
