mountainman 0 #1 August 16, 2001 Hey all!!I didn't get much help in the GEAR section on this part of my question, so I thought that I would bring it out here to the masses.I am looking for some place besides the "gear" section of dz.com to get info on the PISA Hornet canopies.The URL doensn't work to their site, so I am wondering if it is different. Also, what do you think of your Hornet canopy to those who own one.Thank y'all!!--------------Our website...updated daily Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #2 August 17, 2001 Hey MM-Well. I've only had my Hornet190 for a few weeks, but so far I don't have any complaints. Every opening I've had has been smooth so far, which I was very relieved because I was worried it was going to slap me around like a Sabre. I've had a few problems adjusting to the flair on the landings, but don't take much stock in that because I'm not very good at landings-LOL! Actually, I think the main difference in the landings is because I was renting a Sprectre190 before I got my Hornet. Last week, I had a great one which actually swooped across the ground a little.As far as packing goes, people keep telling me that the Hornet's zero-p fabric is a little different and less slippery for a new canopy. I can't tell because I didn't pack before, but the people who have been helping me are saying that. I LOVE the color-coded line stows. They really help a new packer like myself feel a little more comfortable in my packing abilities because I just keep the color groups together, and it works!Avitarr also has one and has been jumping it awhile...why don't you send him a note and ask him in case he misses the thread.Hope I've helped. Let me know if you have any specific questions.Andrea"Up high, I feel like I'm alive for the very first time" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
