Thirst of all, I want to change my current canopy. I own old retrimmed Crossfire1 (dom 1999, ~800 jumps) and I think I've already got almost everything from it. And I wanna fly good loaded X-braced in future. For economy reason, I don't want to make too many steps between my current canopy and X-braced one. And of course, I don't think ordering, for example, VX @2.2 after my current Crossfire @1.6 - is good idea. And one more reason - I can easily spend money for ordering new canopy right now, but I'm not realy sure I will be able to do it next summer when, maybe, I'll be ready to fly X-braced. I've jumped about 20 times with Icarus demo-Xfire2 109. It was nice and pretty fast, and I've felt I can load it more. Maybe it was my mistake? ...and 2 FreeFlyASC, AggieDave, jumperconway, DrewEckhardt, rhino: Ok, I've got main idea. What can you, guyes, say, if I'll decide to decrease my next w/l with Crossfire2 to ~1.85? I realy wanna swoop long and perfect, so I'll be glad to hear all you opinions about optimum w/l!
