  1. what would be the max weight + speed limits for such canopy ? (I don't have my Poynter's books with me ) I have a pilot who gave me 2 Softie seats to pack with C9's inside, and he would prefer to fly his Yak 9 with his other rigs, which are Nationals with FFE 24' Preserve1 canopies. My first impression is that he would be better with the diapered C9's, which by memory would be "more resistant" at higher speeds (200-300kts) Would be thankful if anyone could give me some help and pointers

  6. I agree with you on the "expensive market" part... For the VERY LARGE gap , do you know how many Argii were sold/given ? what is the percentage of Argus in the AAD world ? I am very hapy that there is competition in the AAD world, and that there is always a clientele for new products. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

  10. imagine putting packing weights on the rig to let the packjob compress a bit before closing it.The Cypres temp pin (pointy both ends) ponches a small hole in teh packing weigt, and a ball escapes and fall, bad luck, just through the grommets, inside the cutter, and is blocked in there by the loop. Et Voila. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

  13. get X or the Y, put 100 flights on X, then get Y and you will think that your 1st flight on Y is better than your first flight on X... It's not the arrow, it's the indian.... scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
