Which 7 cell canopy?

[Boris73 0]

I have orderd an Atom Legend R size 0.5, and I am looking to buy a 7 cell canopy. Does any one know which 7 cell 190 canopies can fit into the Atom Legend R 0.5 as the electra 190 has quite a small pack volume about 417 cu-inch. Thanks

You're going about this backwards and you still have time to pause your container order (if you just ordered it)!

You should decide what size and type of main you need. Then determine what size reserve you need (by your exit weight). After you have that, you purchase a container to fit those canopies.

Purchasing a cool looking small rig then trying to squeeze canopies into it leave you either damaging your rig or jumping canopies that are much too small for you. If you need data, pick any month's incident reports (or the forum here) and you will find example after example of what happens when jumping too small too soon!

Thanks for the advice but it's too late to pause the order, I ordered it in December. As for the canopy, the size I need is 190, and worse comes to worse i.e I can't find a 7 cell canopy which will fit I will just order a 190 Electra. I ordered size 0.5 as it is made to fit a 190 canopy/Electra. I just didn't realise how small the packing size of the Electra was.

Why does it have to be a 7 cell?

Other mains that are known to pack smaller are the PD Pulse and the Pilot in ZPX. I guess those 2 should fit where an Electra fits.
