MrHixxx 0 #26 February 25, 2002 As long as the sliders of the two canopies were proportional to their size, I would think that the two would be similar in opening speeds. I seems that the snatch to deployment segment would be the same unless the lines were considerably different lengths or the stows were tighter on one from the other, one container was tighter than the other etc...-Hixxx"Sous ma tub, Dr. Suess ma tub" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not primarily because of weight or drag issues, but because their lines are shorter. -bill von Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
