why would you make a comparison with one guy dialed in dbs vs a guy with a heavier wing loading and factory settings? If i wanted to compare an apple to an orange I'd go to the fucking supermarket.

jesus that pisses me off when people do that. make an uneven comparison to make what they are pushing seem better.

Why didn't you compare a Fury 220 with factory dbs and wingloaded at 1.3 from 195' with a 180 to a blackjack 280 loaded at .65 with absolutely perfect dbs from 546' and only a 90?

I'd learn the same amount.

Because of the statements below. Pay attention.

Do what ? Are you saying that a vented canopy flies faster towards an object than a non-vented canopy during a 180 ?
If you agree that vents pressurize the wing sooner, then you have to agree the wing is flying forward sooner.
[/reply] If people were paying attention in the first place to my original post instead of making their own assumptions, then they would realize I was talking about what worked for me at my wingloading. While the same scenario for a smaller and lighter jumper would likely be quite different.

But feel free to twist whatever I post around to whatever makes you feel warm and fuzzy. This is internet Base afterall.

Ahh yes my bad. I'll try to pay better attention.
