Can anyone tell me the flight characteristics of a Diablo 150 and what experience level is needed to fly a Diablo at a wingload of 1.25. Appreciate the input.

Think Stiletto only faster turner and not as much glide.

I've heard it described as a Spectre on steroids.

May I suggest that you do a search of this forum for more information.

For what it's worth, I jump a Diablo 150 . . .
* if you're into long surf landings it will probably disappoint you.
* it's good in deep brakes.
* it turns very fast!!
* it's fun to fly.
* it packs well.
* it's not for a beginner.

It dives like a train and stops very quickly.

Bottom end on higher loadings is a thin line. More so than an equally sized nine cell.

Very fun canopy.. Should be very versatile at that loading. Due to the turn rate you should be very smooth and carefull.

Have fun,

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Ditto what everybody else said. I fly my Diablo at about 1.4+ and its got some screamin' fast turns. Really fun to fly, but not for the inexperienced. I scared the hell out of myself the first time I jumped it. It doesnt have much of a surf tho.
