TALONSKY 0 #2 August 12, 2004 During the learning period some deployment will not be ideal. On those deployments you will probably get line twist so it is always best to have a canopy that will react well to line twist. This is also the reason square are recomended in general. Until you cut away or unzip your hands you can not reach the risers to help fix line twist . Although these are just recomendations you can fly what ever you feel comfortable with. Myself I did my first 30 wingsuit jumps with a Falcon 195 then switch over to my Crossfire 2 130. Kirk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Professor 0 #3 August 12, 2004 Quotewhat is a good canopy for wingsuit flying. why is a square recomended. squares are recommended because they have more consistent opening characteristics. You can't get your hands up to your risers (which sucks during spinning line twist, trust me ), so you want something that will fly straight. Also, the larger burble of the suit can contribute to poor openings. Spectres, sabre 2s, safire 2s, pilots, triathalons, and other reliable squares are popular. Ted Like a giddy school girl.
