spierscw 0 #1 March 8, 2011 I'm planning to buy a Pulse (lightly loaded) and am wondering about its flying characteristics. I've read that it flies very flat and is good for getting back from a long spot. Does that also mean that it doesn't penetrate well in a headwind? If so, does a little pull on the front risers help much? Any real experiences or theoretical opinions on this are appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mchamp 1 #5 March 8, 2011 I loaded my first canopy/my Pulse at 0.9:1 and absolutely loved it, it's ease of flight, powerful flare and packing volume due to the bottom skin fabric. Overall one amazing canopy that I definitely enjoyed!For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
