Xaos-27 Pack Volume ???

[Swoopthereitis 0]

Hey guys, can anyone tell me how a Xaos-27 88sq/ft will fit in a Wings W4? It was built for a 105 Jedi.
Is the 35% rule accurate? 88 * 1.35 = 119
(A 120 would be a very tight fit in my container)
Velocity 96 was about max.
Thanks.

what's up

i jump a w-4, and a 85 vx, and i'll tell you it's tight, and the xaos 27's pack up even bigger than the vx's (not much but it's enough that a 78 xaos packed up bigger or the same size as my 85 vx). so i would say it would be a VERY tight fit if it would even go in. because my 85 is 'bout maxed out the container.

i would call wings and see if you can get you container converted to a w-5 or w-6 (they all have the same size reserve container). it would be costly i'm sure though, because they would have to replace the said flaps, main flay, side walls, bottom flap, and i think even the back pad. but it would still be less than a brand new container.


BUT i would still try it, and see.

later

Hi this is ac - My 98 Xaos 27 packs up a little tight in my RS.5. I do not know your jump # or what you are used to jumping. You should not buy a small canopy just because it is the only thing that will fit in your rig. If that is not the case, your 88 Xaos 27 will fit in your W4. It will come down to packing style as to the ease of work you will put out after each jump. You should still talk to Wings and get more info from them.
