popsjumper 2 #2 February 7, 2007 Prepare yourself...you are going to get hammered on wing loading vs jump numbersMy reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus. Falcon5232, SCS8170, SCSA353, POPS9398, DS239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sergant 0 #3 February 7, 2007 You really think that combination of 75 jumps and 1.36:1 WL is "good safety conditions"? I doubt of that :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr2mk1g 10 #5 February 7, 2007 All choices seem fine except for maybe your choice of canopy size. Most people would recomend you use a larger canopy for your experiance and weight. What country do you live in? Many countries now have regulations about what size canopy you can jump - you don't want to buy gear and be told you are not permitted to jump it.
