SkydiveMonkey 0 #1 August 15, 2001 Does anybody know anything about Maverick main canopies? I'm looking to buy a kit with a maverick 195 in with about 300 jumps. Are these canopies any good?Don't pull low, unless you are Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #2 August 15, 2001 The Maverick is a rectangular nine cell all F111 main. Built by Glide Path or Flight Concepts. Not a bad first canopy if you can't afford zp.Like any all F111 canopy, it's best not to load it over about 1.1 lbs. exit weight/sq.ft. Performance on an all F111 drops rapidly above that.pull and flare,lisa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveMonkey 0 #3 August 15, 2001 Cheers !! It'll be loaded at exactly 1:1 so it should be ok. Don't pull low, unless you are Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tee 0 #4 August 15, 2001 I jumped a Maverick for my first 40 jumps. It is a very forgiving canopy that is easy to land. Being that it is a 7 cell, it is comparable to a Spectre in alot of ways. I am glad that I had it for a first canopy. Tee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #5 August 16, 2001 Doh!Tee is correct; the Maverick is a seven cell. The Maverone is the nine cell from Glide Path/Flight Concepts.pull and flare,lisa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
