say what?

 

Translated from le french disguised in engrish

What is the size of my 7-cells canopy 'raven 2' knowing that the max weight is 115 kgs or roughly 250 lbs and the size is approximately 16 square meters?


I would say that 16 sq m is about 175 sq ft.

 

16.66 m² = 179.326 ft²

All Raven canopies produced since March 10, 1988 are Super Ravens (see link). From the spec charts, max loading of 245lbs for the Super Raven is the 249.

Raven II is 218 Square Feet*
Raven III is a 249 Square Feet*

Max suspended weight is 254 Pounds.

179? That's a Raven I not a II

I'm sorry, but I do not understand what you're asking?

 

could you please write in French, it would be more clear....

 

alors apparemment c'est une RAVEN I et pas II selon la surface que tu donnes (voir quelques posts plus haut)

Ensuite tu la compares à quelle 185, et d'où proviennent les chiffres ?

 

If i learn French will that increase my abilities to mate?

Bon alors ta Raven, le poids c'est la certification qu'elle a, pas le poids max d'utilisation raisonnable. (en gros si tu fais moins de 115kg elle ne devrait pas se transformer en confettis) si tu l'utilises à 115kg , et spécialement en utilisation de BASE, tu risques d'avoir des surprises.

Pour le tableau d'adrenalinebase, ce sont les tailles recommandées pour une utilisation "safe" (pour autant qu'on puisse qualifier l'activité comme tel)

je te conseille de poser des questions en françAis chez tes congénaires, http://fba.base-jump.org/

n'étant pas pratiquant moi-même, merci de prendre ce que je dis avec une bonne poignée de sel.

so, basically he was asking if his 170 something sqft Raven was better than a 185 sqft BASE canopy, as according to the link provided the BASE canopy was for up to 65kg (approx 130lbs) and the Raven warnig panel states around the double. Also said it was not recommended to use a very loaded RAven in BASE environment.

I explained that the Raven panel shows the "max rated weight", and the link provides "recommended weight"

Also gave him a link to the french board, and stated that I am not a BASEjumper, so he should take everything I say with a handful of salt.

if you are a cocksuker, it might..

A Raven II is 218 square feet.

guess that french is not going to work.... must be alot of fags over there huh
