Bagged BASE Canopies
The other Morning I had a great time making a morning sunrise leap off the Legal Span in the Gem State. Although this may sound like it is crazy to most and I assume that the moderator of this forum will have his opinion.
I used a old wonderhog skydive rig with the reserve removed. 46" non vented zero porisity pilot chute w/9' curved pinned bridle and a bagged raven 4 slider off canopy.
Took an honest 2 seconds, almost perfect on
heading opening. sweet stand up landing!
Flame on !

Re: [basejunkie] Bagged BASE Canopies
which alti?
why a 46 and not a 42?(depends on the altiWink)

Well im only Jumping my BASEgear and never understand why any want to jump skydive gear,so this Q is migth stupied.
Why remove the reserve,i would say it would stabilize the packjob in such a container(or am i way off here?)

at least it were an f111 7 cellcanopi you usedSlyLaughWink
