Pack volume,Wing loading.

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have information on how to load the JVX for distance?

If it can help I have a Velocity now that I load 2.25. A vx that I load 2.2 but it definitely feels like I could use some weights with that one(the VX) for more speed and distance. Was thinking 2.4 for the JVX but this time I want to get it right before i spend all that money on a to big or to small canopy.

And I am also looking for info on how big a JVX 80 with sail on top and bottom(not crossb.) will pack, I can fit an old old Stiletto 120 in my rig(micron 306) fine but a new Sabre2 120 fits...not so good.

from what i've experienced and what i've seen on the PST some where between 2.2-2.6 is where most are flying it for distance.

"optimal" wingloadings, for any canopy, is dependant on the pilot. not only that but ones "optimal" wingloading, or peception of "optimal" wingloading, will change over time as well.
