ace 240 ace 260 pack volume?
just curious does anyone have pack volume for these 2 canopies?

how does the zp upper affect the volumes.

wondering if i can squeeze a 260 into my skydiving rig (J5)

thanks

I freepacked a Flik242 HTS into a J2 and it even looked normal. Yes, you can do so with an ACE260. I have never tried dbagging it though.

I freepacked a FliK 266 with vtec into a teardrop that had a 190 sabre 1, not sure of the actual size. It was tight, but fit ok. Don't know how the ZP would affect the overall volume.

It will fit free packed for sure. I put an Ace 280 in a J4 once....long ass closing loop and a bit of stuff poking out but it works for a hop n pop. You will also need a bridle with a pin- (the J5's bridle incorporates the D-bag).

You could make your closing loop longer?!?!
