    first rig WL

    dan_iv replied to dan_iv's topic in Gear and Rigging

    I have spoke with a couple of my instructors about selecting my first canopy. It's not so much about a WL to be at as much as how much do I want to be able to handle, if the worst situation arises. If I put myself under a 170 (After I have my license and atleast 20 or so jumps under a 190) I would be at a wingloading of aproxamately 1.14 depending on my clothing, and current weight. I am also signing up for the scott miller canopy course in June of this year. edit: the basic "recommendation" to me was that either a 190 or 170 canopy would be acceptable canopies to start w/ for me, also that it is my choice and to consider jumping in all conditions under a smaller canopy.

    first rig WL

    dan_iv replied to dan_iv's topic in Gear and Rigging

    that's funny, except the ankle part, i knew atleast one of you old-timer, (i'm not saying you are old) would chime in w/ a sub .5:1 WL but if it's round is it really a WL now that is a really good point!

    first rig WL

    dan_iv replied to dan_iv's topic in Gear and Rigging

    sure it is, (the poll), granted a person with an exit weight of 120 lbs and a 1:1 WL is alot different then a person w/ and exit weight of 200lbs at the same WL. but generally speaking i'm just curious about what people have began w/ there first rig, and I didn't want to have a ton of options, this is also why I wanted people to comment about there experiences as well.

    first rig WL

    dan_iv replied to dan_iv's topic in Gear and Rigging

    thanks for sharing that bit of info, i personally don't plan on jumping my own rig untill I have completed all of my coach jumps, so I'll have around 30 jumps or more by the time i'm done. these are the canopies i've flown in my short time thus far 260 1 jumps 240 2 jumps 230 2 jumps 210 5 jumps ~ about .95:1 WL I have been told I'm moving down in the next jump or two, I have stood up every landing except my first with no problems... and my accuracy to the student cone has been really good.

    first rig WL

    dan_iv replied to dan_iv's topic in Gear and Rigging

    ok, i'm getting ready to buy my first rig and am curious about what wingloadings people were at when they bought there first rig. I realize that probably the vast majority were right aroud 1 to 1 if you started over or under a 1 to 1 WL let us know how it went for you...

    ok, how about 1. free handy man work around the DZ? 2. 2 cases of beer 3. give haircuts for free at the DZ, (i have a pair of clippers and by the time I am done it would look like a military camp, so probably not a good idea )
