a round canopy may offer steering toggles, but they're really just "view changers" and don't change your destination.
I have a grand total of ONE round jump (28' Russian Paracommander, UT-28? something like that, I'm bottom left
Click [

Another place to watch is the classified section of
Dropzone.com [
dropzone.com], especially if you have a rigger or someone knowledgeable helping who knows what to look for. For example a search of the classifieds at the moment for 'Emergency' shows 2 or 3 bailout rigs for sale.
