Hello, I want to purchase a Flick ultralight (260's) and jump it skydiving first just for practice and familiarization. I know the pack volume is lower than a normal skydiving 260 would be. My question is...What size skydiving container should I rent that will fit this... Example: If I rent a skydiving container that fits a 240 skydive canopy would the flick ultralight 260 fit, more or less ? any guidance would be appreciated

I've put an Ace 260 in a bag built for a student 220, and free-packed it in a Talon built for a 170.

edited to add: Had to lengthen the loop on the Talon to get it to close with decent pin tension, used the tail bury method for reduced pack volume, and made sure to fold the canopy slightly wider than the container to help condense the pack job.

Good luck.

That sounds pretty consistent with other advise I have recieved. Thanks friend. I'm so fucking stoked I can hardly contain myself !!!
