  1. hey Jessica I have a para-flite turbo zx 145 for sale for $400, it has about 350 jumps . its a hybrid parachute,it flys great and lands great. its teal.blackberry and white if your interested reply back and I will tell you more. Scotty
  2. you only have 200+ landings ( the important part) ask any top canopy pilot in the world, they will tell you that your being stupid. when i had 200 jumps i made a bad decision at 1000ft which led to a low turn that i should not have walked away from, i hit so hard peaple stopped running because they thought i was dead. im glad i was only at a 1.25 wing loading If your going to be stupid, you better be TUFF!!!!!!! Scotty
  3. first off you a statistic waiting to happen, 1.7 wing loading with 200+ jumps . you dont have the awareness or the flight time, if somebody cuts you off on final and you yank the toggle you WILL kill yourself. you have no business jumping a cross-braced canopy for a least another 800+ jumps if you survive that long. the best thing you can do is buy a bigger canopy so if you make a mistake it wont be fatal. dont be in a rush to do the big swoops ,you will learn when you ready. blue skys Scotty
