Tri-tapered canopy wing loading discussion

Recommended Posts

Hi!

I was wondering what was your opinion and feelings about when it's getting too heavy and you start to loose distsnce in swooping. I'm currently on an air wolf 71 ( wingloading 2.55 without weights, i prefer it at 2,75)

Does anybody prefer to load their VK or air wolf around 3 or more? At wich point does it get too heavy for the wing ?

Hi!

I haven't rummaged through the flysight data to support these claims, so take them with a grain of salt.

I find that it varies with wings. The Petra/HK/Peregrines can be loaded quite heavily and I like them best around 3.1-3.2. The VKs i like at around 2.7. Tried a 67 with 3.5 which was not my taste. As for VK-PS, I've only have around 50 jumps on them with a few different WLs, but I think it's right up there with the PI, perhaps a tad lower.
