- As a newcomer to the sport of tossing my body out of airplanes I find
- that I'll soon be facing the same decision as a few other folks here:
- what kind of rig should I purchase? However, before I can even start
- the process I find myself with a few questions...most notably, what
- it the difference between a 7 cell canopy and a 9 cell canopy? (yeah,
- I know...2).
-
- I'd be very interested in learning what the relative strengths/weaknesses
- are of various canopy designs and containers. For instance:
-
- Canopies:
- 7 vs 9 cell.
- ZP vs f111.
- microlines.
-
- Containers:
- Racer Elite
- Vector
- Others?

- Thanks,
