I am trying to compile some info together for research, and would appreciate your help.
If you could..Please post your canopy choice and the wing loading you are jumping it at, and if you have had had any malfuntions on it. (off headings and line twists not considered for this project)
Thanks in advance....

i dont know what you can get from this compilation, there is not a lot of us out there, and i doubt it will be accurate.

but...

for 180 jumps- Dagger 222/150lbs. .68
for 40 jumps- Blackjack 260/150lbs .57

I only have 1 mal, I blew a toggle on the dagger, due to the worthless short metal pin toggles.

305 Loaded .87

No malfunctions

288 loaded .69ish
no mal's
unless you're counting toggle fires 1 of them dealies, but that was my fault.

nothing crazy. one fat 180 w/twists.. no real mals

Currently,...
Black Jack/ACE 280 @ .76
Black Jack 310 @ .68
All canopies have composite uppper skin. I prefer the 280 size over the 310. The drag on a 310 foot lightly loaded canopy is a lot if there is any kind of wind.

TrollMDV 245 / .68

  Ace 260 ZP @ .75, no mals

Had a brake setting hangup, but at most that might be half a mal.
