Vented vs. Un-vented ...Pilote chutes and canopy control
I was concidering purchasing a vented 46" pc for a 300ft object.
I'm curious if anyone has feelings about canopy control/performance related to vented or un-vented PC's
~Thanks,J

Performance of canopies in flight is virtually uneffected by changes in PC (perhaps a very slight difference between a 48" and a d-bagged canopy with no PC). Pick your PC for other factors--not for it's effect on canopy flight.
