I hate velcro myself because its ability to pick at fabrics that it wasn't meant to...but I am still not sure about this stuff. Guess I would have to see it in action.

well gimmick or not.. it doesn't cost anything extra, and if others are doing it and it gives you a bit of a perceived edge over those that aren't, and it isn't hurting anyone, then whats the harm? Age S.E.X. party #2 ..It is far worse to live with fear, than to die confronting it.

There is one option that is missing. That is have one but don't use it. I didn't have one on my old rig and when I bought this one the rsl connector was free and so I had it installed but I am not currently using it.

She makes excellent points.... Great analogy Michele. I need to think about that and remember it as well. thanks for adding your voice to this discussion. Age S.E.X. party #2 ..It is far worse to live with fear, than to die confronting it.

Here is Bills list copied from one of the many similar discussions about this. Thanks Bill -flat turn 90 degrees at 50 feet? -flare turn at least 45 degrees? -land crosswind and in no wind? -land reliably within a 10 meter circle? -initiate a high performance landing with double front risers and front riser turn to landing? -land on slight uphills and downhills? -land with rear risers?

Just read your exit weight here. And based on that I have a few more comments. If you are bent on a stiletto... and yes they are really cool canopies go with the 150 (yes 150 not 135) and fly conservatively as hell. And though I am saying that it still may not save you from injury or disaster. You will have loads of fun on it and learn lots and it would be way way way way (have I said it enough) way safer for you at that loading. What I would do in your case is buy a semi-eliptical 170 and learn to fly the snot out of it. And I think that the learning curve will be a lot less if you go this route because you won't have to be as careful with the canopy as it is more forgiving. Once you have put some jumps on it then move to the more unstable stiletto 150 and be conservative. just my 2 cents feel free to ask any questions.. age S.E.X. party #2 ..It is far worse to live with fear, than to die confronting it.

What is your exit weight? What is your current canopy or are you just flying whatever people will lend you? You have flown a good number of different Canopies! I think that is important, however I ask have you put enough jumps on each type to be see if you are consistent and or develop some kind of consistency?Only you can answer this, or a coach at your DZ that has been monitoring your flight. Stand up landings do not necessarily mean they were good landings and though I am not saying that yours were or weren't I find that this is a common misconception and this is something to keep in mind. Again only you can answer this. I don't know if you have been around here enough to see Billvon's list. It is a list of things that should be done proficiently under canopy before downsizing and though I myself didn't do all of them before moving to my current cannopy mainly because Manitoba is flat I did attempt and learn how to do them under my 170 before downsizing. I am sure that someone will post the list for you now that it has been mentioned. I will wait to see what you answer for the questions above but you'll want to learn to do the things on Bills list under a larger more forgiving main and if you haven't tried some of them then my vote will be for a 1:1 kind of loading. It may not seem necessary being that you have flown all of these canopies but trust me tasting dirt cause you tried a crosswind landing and misread a windsock will and ended up more downwind feels a lot better with a larger canopy over your head that a napkin.. Now once again keep in mind that these comments aren't those of an expert but just an opinion and a coach that has seen you fly will be able to more accurately assess your skills..

Hey Stu. thought I would ask you a few q's myself before I answer yours. and no I am not an expert but I thought I would offer an opinion. I assume you are asking cause you want to buy a new canopy.. here is my first question. What have you flown so far? more will follow if you decide to answer..

IAD for me... PFF was too expensive at the time. Though I probably did more jumps to acheive the same things a PFF student would have in less jumps and time the outlay of cash was more gradual. AGE S.E.X. party #2 ..It is far worse to live with fear, than to die confronting it.

I have one brother and I can't ever see him skydiving... he said that if he ever went that we would be able to identify him from the ground cause he would be the one with the brown trail behind him... my sister is only 16 and far tooo high strung for me but I figure that I would wait several years before bringing her to a dz.

now that you mention it I do pick at some line stows if an individual line bothers me. I usually avoid this by haveing the risers even when I start stowing and being careful as I make the stows but I totally know what you mean. Good point.
