jedei

Recommended Posts

I was wondering for those out there that have the jedei, what is the glide angle and flare like? Is it a really flat glide like a stiletto with the control range in the first part of the flare, or is the control range deeper? I know it dives harder than the stiletto, but I'm mainly asking about the glide at full flight and control range?

Glide is steeper then a Stiletto at the same loading. Control range is hard to describe. Its not too responsive for the first little bit then you hit the control window which is more like an Icarus then a PD, then you run out of control and enter the flare range.

I've been doing about 45-60 degree toggle carves on mine with just putting one at one end of the control range and the other at the other end.

Each one does fly differently though... try it out and see if you have the experience.

Brian's canopies are all love/hate. Everyone I know who sticks with them for a while really love them, Several people even regularly jump them with their wingsuits, like Eric. In the end, it's all about what works for you. Try everything and then make your own decision.

I have a Jedei 150, the power part of the flare starts around my shoulders. Lots of flare however not as much as my Vengeance 135 probably partly because it is so much older and more experienced. Glide is fairly steep but if you use rear risers instead of brakes it will flatten out pretty good.

Any of you Jayhawks coming to Crete, NE for the SkyVan on Saturday?
