leroydb 0 #1 March 15, 2004 what are the implications of puting a 240 blackjack into a gargoyle built for a 260-280 canopy? info: The 280 fits VERY VERY tight I think along with a few others that a 240ish canopy would be ok, seeing that I have seen people put a 280 into a container built for a 40... thoughts?Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...

TomAiello 25 #2 March 15, 2004 I'd call Morpheus and ask them. My thoughts? I wouldn't do it. Velcro rigs can easily take undersized canopies. Pin rigs are much more sensitive to canopy changes. Putting an undersized canopy in a pin rig can lead to loose pins (and a generally looser container, which can also mean loose flaps). You can only shorten the closing loops so much. Really loose pins can be really bad at high airspeeds, because they can lead to ugly things like premature deployments and horseshoes. But they can also be bad for things like climbing with a rig on, or just walking out to the exit (imagine having your pins slide out as you wiggle through the steel, and your canopy falling out as you get to the exit...). Bottom line? Call Morpheus and ask them about your particular setup.-- Tom Aiello [email protected] SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is exactly the reason why 460 favors velcro over pin rigs on towers. Velcro will give you some audible feedback if you hit a snag. That said, I've never had problems with my Warlock and I've squeezed through some fairly tight spaces. But my main matches my container so the pins are always secure. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
