Heatwave Main

[jumpinfarmer 0]

I'm wondering about a Heatwave main. Would it make a beginer canopy? Wher could I find out about recomended wing loadings. There web site doesn't show anything.

Probably not a beginner main - it's an eliptical in the same class as a stiletto.

The Heatwave isn't a good choice for a first main, it definitely is in the same class as a Stiletto. I used to own one.

For 9-cell, look into the Sabre, Sabre-2, Hornet, Lotus, and Pilot.

For 7-cells, check out the Spectre & Triathlon.

I fully agree with Kris. Not usually a good main to start with. It is basically a Stiletto with some minor differences in flying characteristics.

I highly highly recommend a Sabre2 (at the appropiate wingloading for your jumps... i.e. under 100 jumps, a 1.0:1 or less wingloading) as a good starter canopy.
