xlh883 0 #1 September 5, 2003 I have been reading a lot of posts that refer to different canopy sizes. How do the size numbers, ie 190, relate to actual measurements. What are the numbers telling you? Thanks, David Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fast 0 #2 September 5, 2003 The number refers to the square footage of the canopy. These days with tapered/semi-tapered canopys it is rough to relate them exactly to a length * width type of thing. You use the square footage of the canopy to determine wingloading (LBS / Sq Ft) of the canopy. There are also other things that you can infer from the canopy size. Generally speaking for a particular model of canopy, the smaller the faster, and more responsive. This comes from shorther lines, and higher WL.~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.
