They are both using a parachute. SparkyMy idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My guess would be that the square canopies have more control than the round canopies, therefore you are more of a "passenger" under a round and more of a "pilot" under square... Just a though Cheers, Jason. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
