nicknitro71 0 #1 August 23, 2005 At the WFFC Parachute Systems had the new "Machine" canopy, a X-braced 27. They only had a 98 demo and even though a bit too big for me I wanted to try it but in the end I simply forgot. Did anybody fly one?Memento Audere Semper 903 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peej 0 #2 August 24, 2005 I know some of the experienced pilots were involved in the testing here at our local DZ's. If no one has got back to you by Friday i'll ask them what they thought about it and post back on Monday. I know a lot of people here have been really excited about it though!

johnny1488 1 #3 August 26, 2005 I flew it on sunday, btu only did one hnp from 13.5. So far they only have a 99, which is a bit small for me, I fly a 104 VX. It opened real slow with the slider staying half way up. It had light front riser pressure which I didnt care for much. The decent rate seemed about the same as my VX. It seemed to have a shorter recovery arc. The toggle range seemed shorter than my VX but slightly more responsive. The rears kept the forawrd drive but didnt give as slow a decent rate as my VX. Thats what I got but like I said I did only one jump. Johnny --"This ain't no book club, we're all gonna die!" Mike Rome Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
