    Pilot Chutes

    What P.C. size would you say is proper for wingsuit BASE jumping?

    I figure that due to the increased burble caused by the suit, you'd definitely want to go with ZP rather than F-111 to prevent any hesitations. I'm kinda baffled as to what size would be appropriate for the airspeed...

    The smallest ZP with a handle that BR makes is a 38 inch. Is that the best option or do you recommend larger? What size do you use?

    RE: Pilot Chutes

    Hi,

    My name is PerFlare and my experience level is about 200 wingsuit jumps, 30 of them are in base. My base experience is +500 jumps.

    My choice are ZP36inch with an external handle from BR. I see guy's jumping 32inch pilots but I have talked to some of them and most experience a "drop" before line stretch. When looking at it on video I personal opinion is that it polls to slow. Guy's jumping with 38 inch thinks it works well but I think it is a little overkill to have that large PC.

    Well that's my opinion
    Have fun!
