dgskydive 0 #1 November 19, 2003 Called up the nice folks at Precision a few weeks ago and asked if they would send me a demo of their Nitron canopy. 4 days later I had a brand new 135 Nitron in my hands for a few weekends. Thanks George! I put about 1-15 jumps on it and it was very enjoyable. Nice openings for the most part. It did do a bit of searching but not to bad and opened on heading almost everytime. Very responsive and nice fast swoopy landings. I have to admit I only packed it once (it was new) But it wasn't to bad getting it in the bag. All in all I enjoyed the canopy and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice eliptical to jump. I have jumped the Stiletto 135, the Nitron 135 and the Vision 132. They all had good qualities to them. Everyone knows the Stiletto and the reputaion that it has. I would say that the Vision is a good first Eliptical (very forgiving) and the Stiletto and the Nitron are a bit more responsive and more aggresive. They have longer recovery archs then the Vision.Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #2 November 19, 2003 I wonder how it would compare to a Xfire2? Has anyone here jumped both of those?--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeeeeeeFly 0 #4 November 19, 2003 I wonder how it would compare to a Xfire2? Has anyone here jumped both of those? *** I have jumped Nitrons, Stiletto's and I now own a Xfire 2... I found similar rating to all the canopies... Stiletto and Nitron are very similar in their agressiveness and turning abilties While I have found the Xfire 2 to a step up in agressiveness and alot deeper flare and recovery arc... I enjoyed all the canopies but was not able to put many more than 10 jumps on the nitron... I am very happy with the X fire and look forward to playing around with the VX and Xaos "The edge ... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who know where it is are those that have gone over" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
