    swoop abortion saves lives remember that you should know what is happening before you make any turns.... and adjust while making said same turns to create your own reality....

    270 on a Crossfire2 119 1.8ish from 650 technique is brakes release brakes start harness double fronts to double fronts offset to steepend or slow the turn depending then to double fronts to stop turn and finish turn...I would guess 6-7 seconds for the turn 180 on same from 500 feet same turn technique and time is around 6-7 seconds as well... thing is I did the same altitudes on the 129 but slowed the turn a lot to make it work...

    I reccomendation is to read the titanium post about when people hurt themselves (around 200 jumps) and to search for allan tonkin in the forums and find out what happens if you really rush it and rethink your decisions as of right now. (of course you may be the next Jeffro comign down the line if you decide to live through it all, but that will be if you survive your bounce) Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

    loading the two the same here is what I found... crossfire took a little longer to start the turn and get honking Katana pull riser and weeeeeeeeee crossfire had a shorter rcovery arc than the katana crossfire more lifty later in swoop both fun as hell to fly different techniques involved and that is that... Now here is what sold me on the Crossfire2 in the end...the openings....like butter...you have to pretty much twist your slider up into a knot to get it to open fast... would I fly a katana? totally ... am I currently flying a crossfire...yes and why personal preference, in the end it comes down to what you prefer and what you are comfortable with... (in my case at this point it is prefer originally it was a comfortability factor as the katana scared the shit out of me ) Cheers all Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

    follow Brians advice I would say try as many canopies as you can find in the same size as yours for now then try them in a size smaller... and heres the other thing...things happen really fast on a sub 100 canopy...I know a girl that weighs less than you that wound in a coma for like 3 months on a 97 stilletto... and it was a millisecond difference that caused it...
