JamesNahikian 0 #53 October 13, 2002 From Crossfire 2 at 1.8+ to Sabre 1 at 1.3. I've also demo-d canopies, including PD reserves, at much higher loadings. FWIW, my 1.8 C-fire 2 is the finest all-around canopy I've flown. It's capable of doing just about anything I ask of it exceptionally well, from cross-countries to informal CREW to swoops and accuracy in tight spots. At this point in my career, the C-fire 2 is the perfect canopy all-around. D. James Nahikian CHICAGO Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyhi 24 #59 October 14, 2002 Quote0.06:1 Seems a little light. If you're out the door at 200 lbs, that means you're jumping a 12 sq ft parachute.Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

noggydog 0 #61 October 14, 2002 HI, I'm loaded at 1.2 under a sabre 150, and have jumped conservatively a sabre 135 at 1.35 a few times. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimbo 0 #62 October 14, 2002 Actually, it was simply a smart ass answer. People take things way too seriously sometimes. If anyone really cares about wingloading they can check the Canopy and Swooping forum, this has been covered more than once. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Rdutch 0 #64 October 14, 2002 2.0 with my velocity 96 but sometimes I break out the old ve 111 and wear weights. Ive been working on that a little, testing the bigger wing, higher loading to see what results I can get. So far I get long swoops but the canopy isnt as fun, and the riser pressure can be tough if I start my turn in full flight. I wonder if anyone else has been trying this and what results they have been getting. Ray Ray Small and fast what every girl dreams of! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
