Thanks for the reply. I don't quite have that many jumps yet, but do feel comfortable on a 190. My calculated wing loading would be around 1.14 with a 170.
Janis Petrovics if you've been jumping the 190 for awhile with consistent landings then it shouldn't be a problem. Just check with your instructors and see what they think. Also it's good to have a 10knot wind to slow the landing down a little when downsizing I've found. Have fun mate.
Yeah it's pretty good. Take a bit of height to open though. Usually 800-1000ft. But I've just downsized to a Icarus Safire 2 149. A lot of wingsuit guys run storms. The flares are super nice and it's still pretty sporty for a 7 cell. :)
I just bought a storm and reading that 800-1000ft was like a kick in the nuts! Haha I just got my A license so I'll just act like I don't know any better! Ja ja thanks for the response dude
What was your wing loading for the 170 and jump numbers? I am looking at the PD storm 170 myself. Cheers
Janis Petrovics off memory my wingloading was 1.1 and I started jumping it around jump 60.

How do you like the storm?
