Yeah cheers, the total control website is good. I have been asking around about what size canopy would be good for me and my instructors have okayed a 170. I may even be looking at buying a whole rig instead of just the main. I guess it depends on what pops up. Yeah, you have the right Jenny. You know thanks for picking me up that day over the freeway otherwise I would have had a nice walk back.

I am a newbie and a student. I jump at Picton, Sydney Australia. I currently have 36 jumps under my belt and am looking at buying a main. I have a rig + reserve someone is lending me but I need a main. I have an exit weight of 180 pounds and am looking at buying a 170 main. I do not want a new main as this is my first parachute and I find new mains very difficult to pack. I have already got some rigger friends who are willing to check out the main for me before I buy. Apart from the people at my dz, what are my options for buying a 170 main? Are there good websites or will I get the best deal in a private sale? And of course any other advice for this newbie.
