sangiro 26 #2 May 5, 2001 Omri - not sure what your wing loading will be but that seems to be a pretty small canopy for a first rig. Congratulations, enjoy the new equipment and be careful. Safe swoopsSangiro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skreamer 1 #12 May 7, 2001 Hey OmriSomething just occured to me : you are 16, did you allow for the fact that you will be growing a lot in the next couple of years? It would be really crap if your custom rig didn't fit you so well a year from now.One advantage I can think of, is that as you grow, your wing-loading will increase without you having to downsize - so you should have lots of fun with your hornet in the next couple of years!/s Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
