Does anyone have correct info on how much different sizes of the same canopy weigh? I know how much my Troll MDV 285 weighs, what about 265 or 245? Just the canopy, leave the container off the scale.

And how much lighter is UL material on otherwise same canopy? On any given canopy, say a Flik 266 and Flik UL 266? Just to get an idea.

And yes I could email a manufacturer but thats just waaay too much work. :)

Thanks,

edit: jumbled from cut & paste out of excel, too lazy to fix it. also i only posted because this will help all those who do a little searching on here before asking questions.

Well thank you both. Almost everything I wanted to know and all I did was post! Take notice, aspiring young jumpers, this is how its done! I guess I'm just used to making other people do my work for me! hahaaa
