To Fiveniner: you can buy directly from Softie a square emergency
parachute. To 66: it is called weathervaning...go and make a jump, don't release your brakes and see what the canopy will do. Especially the big ones like Raven IV. To Eric Greenwell: no it doesn't work like that. Round/conical will descent at that rate no matter what. There will be a small difference in descent rate between suspended loads (heavy pilot versus light pilot) but not a really significant number. If you would like I can swing by the airport and drop you a book with explanations about parachute desingns. I don't want to type the explanation because would be to lenghty.
