F111 PC Size

[georgechurchill]

BR charts say 36 inch PC is best for a 1100 ft object. I've got a 36 inch f111 pc, in v good condition. Would it be ok to jump this with a 7 second delay, or should it be strictly ZP PC with this amount of delay. I'm sure I could find the answer if I trawl through previous posts but I can't be fu(ked. Shoot me down in Flames,
Thanks
George

For a 7 second delay, with reasonable deployment altitude (not a super hum job), I'd say you'll be fine with the 36 F-111. I'd prefer slightly larger, but I'd say it'll work.

Hope you don't die.

The BR Charts only reference freefall alts, NOT Object height. I´m almost sure that you made a typo. But anway, if one sets his gear up on the edge of performance, one must be certain that one has the discipline to maintain the plan. Like, don´t pack for an 8 and do a 2, etc.

Actually BR revised their chart a while back, and now it's primary basis is object height, with Delay as one of the categories. So, now it reads something like: "If your object is X feet high, take Y delay and use Z gear." The new chart is on the BR web page.

I was pretty puzzled by the change, too.
