Hi, i am new and i will go to get a base course on the next months but i have a dude of canopy size: my exit weight is about 182 lbs ( gear helmet shoes....) and 156 body weight and i would like to know what size of canopy i must get for be in to a good wing loading for a base jump student. Thank you for help me.

Shall I serve it up on a silver platter? or maybe you should just search for responses.
Do you just want to speak about BASE or or you really that challenged that you dont know how to use the search function or simply click on before you post? Maybe it is that the website is not intuitive. Try entering canopy size or wing loading into the search bar on the upper right side of the web page and please complain to the moderaters iffin it aint intuitive.
Hope this helps.
Take care,
space.

I hope you are at least somewhat experienced skydiver. With what size of a low aspect ratio 7 cell would you be comfortable landing a very small landing area with possible obstacles surrounding it?

V

just get a 260 and go

just get a 260 and goPro

Or a 220 so you can swoop!

brand new 220 flik ultralight, white with crimson stains (spilled wine on it), only jumped once.................

1300 OBO

The best rule of thumb is to take your naked body weight and add 100.

So for you a 260ish canopy is probably the best choice.

If you will jump in higher winds with good landing areas, consider a 240.

If you will jump more technical sites with advanced landing areas, consider a 280.

I'm 155lbs. I jump a 266 but would prefer something smaller when it gets gusty. I would say 250/260's is ideal for a first canopy in most situations.

Yes get a 250 only a 250 who makes a 250 again. Suck it J. Did you talk to Ammon yet?

Aking what the fuck???

Is this akin to AXing???

FYI - a Suzuki RM80 is NOT
exactly 80 cubic centimeters.

For Fuck's Sake

How bout a 254 asshole! And yeah talked to him and got in touch with some locals. You down to jump a "lil" E over here?
