Safety Consious Canopy

[lazerq3 0]

I was just wondering if anyone else had there canopy custom made with some safety in mind? When I ordered my main I choose ALL ribs red, cells 1-4 top/bottom noen green, cell 5 top/bottom noen yellow, cells 6-9 top/bottom noen green, stabilizers red, slider red. First I went with these colors cause I liked them , plus it would be easy to find in a cutaway, secondly I chose a yellow center cell so when packing I know exactly where the center is without having to flip aorund looking for the warnign tag ( I'm still new so i gotta make packing as easy as possible) , Thirdly I chose slider red so when the canopy opens the slider will contrast againt the yellow/green cells so it will help to see it and aid in determining if I may just have a snivel (slider visible with 4 distinqued (sp) lines groups) or streamer (no slider visable). Any way just wondering if your colors represent anything to you!!!jason

that won't work with a flash window.
You have to press the PrtScn Button next to f12 then open up MSpaint and Paste the image into the program then save it as a jpg file and post it as an attachment

It's not flash, it's Java.
Print screen, then paste into a new file in your imaging program, then save it as a jpg. pull and flare,

Pushing Print Screen by itself will do nothing. When you push it, it just saves whatever is on the screen into the clipboard. Go into whatever photo ediing software you have (even mspaint) and make a new file, press ctrl-v and all will be well.

Good plan, lazerq3 ... tell us more. What type of main did ya get, and what wing loading are ya gonna fly it at? My canopy was bought from someone in Florida -- so I had no input on anything. But when I get my first new canopy...!!! Right now I'm jumping a Silhouette, blue pink pink blue blue blue pink pink blue (oh yead, you can see it in my little picture) loaded at about 1:1 I plan on keeping 'till I've put 400 jumps on it, then I'll downsize. No hurry there...

ITs a hornet 150 loaded at 1.14 to 1. Nothing too extreme but I'm going form a PD 170 (f111) loaded at 1.01 to 1 to this. I just flew a cross fire 169 this weekend and that was pretty fast!!! DID a STUPID toggle turn at 300ft to get set into the wind,, came in pretty hot for me, went to flare I didnt realize at that speed you get lift. Finished out the flare and popped up about 7-10 ft scared the shit outa me and produced one hell of a PLF!!!!! Even got it on vidoe!!!! But learned that lesson and stood them up the rest of the jumps. Still cnat believe the speed of theat canopy and that was a 169!!!! BUT WHAT A RIDE!!!!! LETS DO IT AGAINjason
