atsaubrey 0 #1 September 25, 2005 Well a full ZP 330 tandem canopy is a Ferrari to me..at least it handles like one. My gawd now this is how parachutes are supposed to handle and perform! Got a loaner canopy until we get the blown cell figured out on the canopy i just bought. Other than having to learn quickly to fly the openings and not be surprised by off heading openings, this friggin rocks! I am still concerned about flying a eliptical canopy (yes eliptical) and treating the thing with the utmost respect because i know stupity on this thing could quickly turn ugly. i never thought a canopy could turn and respond like this, and my gawd does it have a powerful flare...I had nothing but tiptoe landings. THIS THING STOPS ON A DIME! Can you tell im excited? I think i'm going back to the DZ tomorrow just to jump the thing again....now do I really have to give it back"GOT LEAD?"
