bodypilot90 0 #1 September 17, 2003 a few of us have been wondering about what size canopies to demo and at what wingloading. I have heard 1.3 to 1.4 w/o gear is that right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkvapor 0 #2 September 17, 2003 The following is for the current world record attempt. It also applies to competition and regular recreational CReW as well. Obviously, good judgement should apply. If you are used to flying 1:1, then jumping to 1.35 immediately would not be smart. QuoteWing Loading This year we will be using a wingloading of 1.300 – 1.375 lbs/sq ft. Wing loading is calculated by dividing your total exit weight by the size of your canopy. The following chart gives the appropriate exit weights for the given canopy sizes. If you fall between the shown weights of 2 different canopies then it will be necessary to wear some weight to get you in the range of the next size up canopy. Canopy Min Max Size (Lbs) (Lbs) 113 147 155 126 164 173 143 186 196 160 208 220 176 229 242 193 251 265 218 283 299 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
