Havok 0 #1 March 17, 2013 Looking for some help. I picked up an SST racer and with the intention of putting a 190 in it. I found a PD navigator 200 for sale that is within my price range. Does anyone know if that canopy will fit in this container. The data card in the rig shows a 475 ci pack volume Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I found that, but they don't list cubic inch pack volumes for their canopies, just how they compare to other canopies. That ain't right - somewhere they should own up to a pack volume measurement. Yeah, I know they have another write-up on the variability of such things, but there needs to be a number out there for people to work with for sizing rigs.

But why doesn't the manufacturer do that for their own canopies on their own web site? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Havok 0 #10 March 20, 2013 thanks again for the help. I'm pretty sure that the pd navigator won't fit in my rig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
