Hey david! I bought a pilot 188 a few months ago and the crisp new canopy was way harder to pack with my usual method making the s-fold from the nose up. Thanks to your method and video I now always get a neat packjob without struggling. I showed it to a friend of mine who was struggling also and it helped him out to. Thanks for your video. Greetings from the Netherlands!
You still jumping this? I have a new ULP 188 9 cell with the regular Dbag and my packing is horrendous. All my openings have been on heading and smooth. I just changed to a Fluid Wings semi stowless bag and haven't jumped it yet. I'm sure it's not the same with WS.
It is a pilot 188. Container is also Aerodyne icon with free fly, wingsuiting and skyhook modifications. If your wing load is 1.1 then would recommend one. Just one thing to watch. I went 240 to 210 to 188 and it’s amazing the speed difference especially on no wind days.
@@davidfullstone I'm at about the same progression. Been doing really well on a 230 so I'm going down to a 210 pilot 9 ZPX for my first canopy. Only about 40ish jumps so far but I'm almost always exactly where I want and land softly everytime after taking the canopy course
@@sivonparansun Well, I got turned away from Hinton for having a wing load of 1.2 when I was 15 stone 10 lb, woops. I'm now down to 14 stone. No longer coming in faster than a greyhound, now I have to brake more gently or else I go back up in the air with any wind.
@@sivonparansun It is a great canopy that is very forgiving. There is one thing though that I've noticed about them though. As they say, designed for pilots by pilots. I found out from an instructor what that actually means. Pilots exiting aren't thinking about 2 stage flaring so it's not designed for that. Find it a lot easier now I know that to just do one smooth flare.

Also great vid really enjoyed it =)
Thanks, main reason I put it up was because off a really nasty hard opining I got in Portugal from rental kit.
What size and container? Also would you reccomend pilot at 1.1WL for newer jumper (less than 100 jumps) ?
