lazyfrog 0 #78 January 9, 2004 shoot, that's low... was there a special reason for that ?? my usual canopy (saphire2 139) usually takes nearly 1000ft to deploy, and that at full speed... it it were a hop n pop, guess would take till impact... ---------- Fumer tue, péter pue ------------- ourson #10, Mosquito Uno, CBT 579 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
velo90 0 #79 January 9, 2004 Quotemy usual canopy (saphire2 139) usually takes nearly 1000ft to deploy, and that at full speed... I don't think there is not a lot of difference in the time it takes for the canopy to open be it at full speed or at low speed. At terminal you are covering the distance to the ground a lot more quickly than you are just after exit. But still, you are right, it's low, I will try to avoid those sort of jumps in the future.
