x3mcam 0 #1 July 5, 2002 What is the current speed record under canopy during final approach. ? At the Para-Performance website there are only seconds (through the course). I wonder if anybody could tell how quick they are? Has somebody tried polica-radars. At least in Finland we use radars.. thanks tomppa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveMonkey 0 #2 July 8, 2002 Ask Derek (hooknswoop) about this one. He's had quite a quick speed under canopy____________________ Say no to subliminal messages Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess that was done with the VX 69 I wonder what kinda speeds Luis Cani had on his VX 46 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hooknswoop 19 #4 July 11, 2002 93 mph in the dive, 78mph horzontal, w/ 10 jumps on my VX-60. That canopy is only good for going really, really fast. Hook Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 0 #11 August 4, 2002 QuoteHow is your wing load? Derek is currently loading it at 3.1:1, he is about 180 out the door. Now if he would let me jump it I would only be loading it at 2:1......come on pookie bear what do you say, can I jump it.
