Ketia0 0 #3212 September 7, 2009 i dont think so.. i think a .95 would be good.. wait.. are you saying to high, like i need a smaller canopy or bigger canopy?"In this game you can't predict the future.

JohnMitchell 16 #3213 September 7, 2009 Quotei dont think so.. i think a .95 would be good.. wait.. are you saying to high, like i need a smaller canopy or bigger canopy? A higher wing loading would mean a smaller canopy. I think the .95 wing loading is okay. My rule of thumb is nothing over 1 to 1 for under 100 jumps. How were your landings on the 230? BTW, it's Monday morning is Seattle and it looks like rain, again. Coffee's almost done, mmmm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrwrong 0 #3214 September 7, 2009 Brian Germain has made an excellent chart for this.... http://www.bigairsportz.com/pdf/bas-sizingchart.pdf A good thing to have as a starting point. Sure there is other factors to consider as well.... This chart is even used in the Swedish version of "the SIM". “The sum of intelligence on the planet is a constant; the population is growing.” - George Bernard Shaw He who dies with the most toys, wins..... dudeist skydiver # 19515 Buy quality and cry once!

Ketia0 0 #3215 September 7, 2009 I ahve an exit weight of 200... my landings are hit and miss on 230. for the most part.. majority of the time i am good stand up landing. the only thing that gets me is when i flare to high.."In this game you can't predict the future.

Baksteen 84 #3218 September 8, 2009 Good morning. Writing SOPs today and it seems I'm starting to make some progress, god forbid. But I am ashamed by you people! Yesterday there was some good information and advice posted in this thread. Go rinse your collective mouths, with soap and don't forget to disinfect your keyboards.
