popsjumper 2 #1 July 11, 2010 I have a D-bag. How do I tell definitely what size canopy this bag was designed for?My 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
JohnRich 4 #2 July 11, 2010 Length x Width x Height = cubic inch volume Then compare that volume with canopy manufacturer volume charts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerryBaumchen 1,468 #3 July 12, 2010 Hi pops, But remember that the lines are not 'in' the d-bag. You need to account for them in any method of measurement. I would suggest that you just get some canopy that you 'think' will fit & give it a try. Then go up or down from there. Canopy volume is still a mystery.

RiggerLee 63 #4 July 12, 2010 Generaly speaking it's what container it's for. Not just what size but what specific container it's for. Generaly the bag shapes the canopy to fit the container. Wide, thin, thick, long... to some degree they are interchangeable on mains at least but the rig can get ugly if it's shaped wrong. Can't have that! So then it becomes a question of what volume is your tray? LeeLee lee@velocitysportswear.com www.velocitysportswear.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #5 July 12, 2010 Thanks John and Jerry. The volume measure would give a general idea, yes, and I'll start with that. The line type I'm sure would affect the final outcome, I agree. I was hoping that there was some way to get a grip on it other than "try different size canopies with different size lines"....that's a lot of work for a lazy-butt. I'm pretty sure that is what is going to take in the end, though RiggerLee. I have a D-bag...not a rig. My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.
