    They call em that cuz it rymes and sounds funny? These are the only reasons I can think of because tagging the Stiletto as a problematic spinner is not an accurate statement. Not at all... Stiletto is a good canopy, fun preformance, recovers quickly - forgiving low to the ground. Can't go wrong with it as a good place to start your transition - PD is tried and true... - ahh I was just being silly about the spinnetto comment...although I have seen some nasty spinners on stillettos.... truthfully any elliptical canopy has the ability to take off at the ground at high speed...I even had on happen on my crossfire2 129 loaded at like 1.45 or so... but I have to say I have gotten very used to dealing with toggle pops these days as I have bad habits and grab my risers 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.

    talking with other people and realizing what they are flying and watching them while I am on the ground to realize what they are doing and hten most of all once I am under canopy trying to keep my head on a swivel 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.
  12. dharma1976
    now dont you think that should be submitted to one of those sites that has all those ATC conversations thats funny as hell 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.

    the sam dives more than the stilletto with out building up as much riser pressure...it also has a larger recover arc...meaning that if you do decide at some pint to maybe take up some swoopage in your life the samurai will be the canopy you want as it will be more condusive to the path swooping seems to be going...plus they dont call em spinettos for nothing :-P having jumped both I prefer the samurai.... 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.

    my biggest challenge was the transfer to a higher loaded elliptical canopy and relearnign my set up from the moment I had a good canopy over my head... and that starts as I am getting on the plane... well that and figuring out how to jump a lot more with a whuffo girlfriend....

    try the safire2 and the sabre2 in the smaller size but still keep in mind that they will still act more responsively... its funny I fly canopies in that range with no problem at that point, you wont really notice too much of a performance increase in the ellipticals till around 1.4 and then they really start to take off in the 1.7-1.9 range Just be careful with the smaller sizes and low weight right now :-P SInce you are in Israel, go talk to Yanir(spelling) or Inon about your canopy issues...they might have a better idea of your ability and where you should go. And tell Yanir that Skyjunky from Sussex said whats up while you do it.

    try it in the same size and then think about it...also talk to your local canopy people about what to expect/shoudl they like the idea the problem with goign smaller for smaller people has been discussed many times before... smaller canopies have short lines, shortlines turns into a lot of diffreent flight charecteristics... so for instance a person flying a 107 at 1.4 lbs/sq ft will see different flight charecteristics than a person flying a 150 at 1.4 lbs / sq ft shorter lines at same wingloading = faster to respond things happen a lot faster even at same wingloading... just think about that when jumping that 120 and then if you demo the 107 think about it as well...

    I think that the Kluegs will be returning to the Hills in the beginning of Novemeber Fear not Zhills will return to Freeflying 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.
  19. dharma1976
    I think it was about the short recovery arc. ahhh it may be a little shorter but it is not as short as a stilletto :-P And people can get those to swoop pretty well :-P 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.
  20. dharma1976
    ahhh thank you for backing me up on that one chuck...mayb e we should do a semi elliptical swoop meet so that people will understand that you can swoop them...

  21. dharma1976
    dude they can be swooped is what I am saying....shit the crossfire2 will have a positive recovery arc if flown wrong (too much rears input on plane out) I learnt how not to swoop on a pilot 150 by bouncing myself off the ground and gaining 10 inches of titanium in my leg 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.

    two out on in very close front float should stay small during exit 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.
  23. dharma1976
    I would say try to get the canopy more vertical that thing will dive like a crack whore in a sheetrock factory...I flew a pilot 150 and it is about how you fly it 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.

    the fx 99 is used rarealy actually I can swoop the 119 crossfire2 further than it, the FX was a gift from my S&TA and I will hold onto it for certain aspects My main canopy is the 119 Crossfire2 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.
