The Canopy You Fly

[katzurki 0]

This is a poll for rig owners. Please mark the canopy that you own (in case you own more than one, choose the one you fly the most), not the one you plan on getting or like better. I hope the list is comprehensive enough. Thanks!

Voted for the Sabre1 but, you don't think you'll get any meaningful data from this do you? What are you hoping for?

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Given a large number of recipients, the data promises to be interesting. At the very least we'll find out the most popular canopies among dz.commers

Triathlon for everything, Lightning for offset and diamond CRW...

Damn... I can't believe we can get that many poll choices...

I have a Pilot 117 in my second rig and like it a lot. I use my Nitro for 4-way and general swooping, and use the Pilot for bigger stuff where on-heading openings, flyability in traffic and off-field landing capability are important.

I think this will be one of the "best polls" in a while as long as many, many, many people vote...

I am very interested to see what comes of this.

Pilot as well. I like it so far. On heading openings, and fun to play with.

So Billvon, please correct if I interpeted this wrong, but from what you wrote it sound like you are flying a canopy (the nitro) beyond your ability because you won't jump it if you are more likly to land off or in a heavy traffic situation?

I knew I'd forget something Sorry!

[BillyVance 34]

I'm thinking it's more of a comfort zone.

I have a friend who jumps a Icarus Extreme 79 for swooping or video jumps, but will switch to a Batwing 120 for the big ways just to be more in sync with canopy traffic...

Yeah, there would be interesting corellations alright, but you can't make double polls here just yet... (I could technically put it all into a single poll... with, say, a 100-jump discretion rate and up to, say, 1500 jumps, that would be 900 poll options).

Exactly. I enjoy putting other people at risk, as well. Lately I have been hoping for a premature deployment in an aircraft for that reason.

Can you pick two options? if you can could you just add options for the 15 or 16 options to allow for this. Or maybe not even so many.
How about 100 or less, 100 to 400, 400 to 1000, 1000 to 2000 and over 2000

If you would like me to edit your poll to allow for multiple choices, let me know. It's easy to do (although it will not restrict you to just two choices.)

I think it's more accurate if we restrict it to one canopy choice per person. Adding jump number choices will not do much as you won't be able to conclude that canopy X is being flown by Y people with Z jumps...
