Quote Hahaha. What they have me jump at the DZ is a 260 main. So I have a very light wing loading, but like I said, the JM recommended maximum a 190 after 50 jumps or so. And at 15 jumps I'm barely certified to look at the canopy, this I know very well. Thanks for the clarification on the lines. All this being said, I'm still divided on the canopy ; which model is best for my situation (at the appropiate wing loading).

I'm sure I've seen 10,000 posts on the subject but as I keep seeing, it needs be relative to my specs: I'm looking for a full rig and would love some opinions on the following given my specs: -Fresh off the Canadian PFF ; have 15 jumps -Comfortable w/ riser turns/flat turns/landing within 50 meters of the target (at my dz) jumped in both no wind and 13-15 wind speed. -DO NOT want elipticals for extremely obvious reasons -Generally after research I would prefer the following: -ZP fabric (Keeps better) -Microline (Keeps better, though less elastic) -Low aspect ratio (more stable? less eliptical?) -Slinks (less abrasion) -Looking to pack a PD Reserve plus so far either a -Sabre 2 -Navigator -Storm -Specter Into a Javelin Odyssey I'm about 200lb and 6'1" Any help would greatly appreciated. I love gliding and don't want a ground-hungry canopy. I'm also asking my DZ instructors who recommended after 20-30 jumps or so a 190lb wing loading.
