I have 80 jumps, I did the flight-1 canopy course and for the last 18 jumps I have been renting PD silhouette 170 and tried pilot 168. My wing loading on those is 1.15. Before I was jumping sabre3 190 for about about 30 jumps. 1.05 wing loading. On all the canopies I jumped my landings are good in different wind conditions including downwind, turbulence and gusts. Also I have been comfortable coming back from long spots crosswind and landing out. And I have been jumping in 3 DZs ranging from narrow to large airport. Accuracy is average between 30 to 50ft from the target for the past 40 jumps except when the wind is funny I focus on landing at the DZ. My question. I bought a container that holds 170 max and I was wondering how the sabre3 170 is different from the pilot and the silhouette? It's the only one I didn't have a chance to try yet and I was wondering if you tried moving from any of those to sabre3 what was your experience? Also if you think I should go back to 190 what low pack canopy you recommend? One last thing. I am not part of the downsizing trend. I will most likely stay with whatever canopy I will get till it smells. I didn't intend to downsize to 170. It was an error and I found out after the 10th jump. Flying and landing it was not much different from the sabre3 190. Thank you
