Aviatrr 0 #26 September 9, 2001 Quote quick question about the VX/FX canopys. are they made for terminal openings or are they only for subterminal hop n pops below 5'000.... They were designed for terminal openings.. I know of a few people that are jumping FX/VX canopies while doing AFF instruction and/or coaching..Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alan 1 #27 September 11, 2001 I'm curious now. I know that relatively speaking, there aren't a lot of VX canopy pilots out there, but I would like to know if others have experienced this surge on openings. For the most part, I have to agree with Chuck, mine is unusual and "dances" around a bit, but it has moderate snatch force and opening shock. You have to steer it during the opening sequence by shifting weight in the harness, but once you learn to pay attention, openings can almost always be kept within 45 degrees of heading. The key is to pay attention and fly the canopy at all times. Anybody else experience problems with surge on opening with the VX?alan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
