  1. I assumed the hybrid would sink faster due to having a more porous material on the bottom skin/ribs, glad I asked since my assumption was incorrect. Thanks for the quick response.
  2. I did a couple searches and couldn't come up with anything that would answer my question. I was wondering if a hybrid canopy has a higher sink rate over an all-ZP canopy? Not sure if I'm using "higher sink rate" in the proper manner...but basically if an all-ZP canopy and a hybrid canopy are side by side at 1,000 feet and are loaded at the exact same WL'ing, which will travel farther? I feel kind of dumb for asking the question since I own a hybrid canopy (Silhouette) but am not sure of the answer Edited to add: I know shape and design also play a factor, but for argument's sake let's just say their both the same canopy but one's constructed of all-ZP and the other is a hybrid
  3. I've been a lurker on here for a few months and I use the search function when I have a question about some stuff. However, if I do have a question that I haven't been able to find an answer to from searching I just don't ask on here and I save my questions until the next weekend when I can ask someone in person. And to be honest one of the reasons I have never posted on here is because I see some of the responses newbies get and it just completely turns me off from seeking advice online.
