Too high,too low...need help with flaring
Kolla replied to dzdiva's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
Does your DZ offer canopy coaching of any sort? Might be a great investment to do a couple of jumps with a qualified coach at your DZ. Most coaches will work with you on various canopy skills, to include your approach + landing. They normally tape your landing and that way they can explain to you exactly what is going on - to me it was a lot easier to understand what I was doing/not doing when I actually saw it, rather than having someone explain it to me verbally. Best of luck - soft landings! Kolla Blue Skies Magazine -
- Andy, where did you see those minimums for the Stiletto? As far as I know, the only canopy Performance Designs has put minimums on is the Velocity (and even with that canopy the minimums are very low - exit weight to equal size of the canopy in sq.ft.). Please let me know! Thanks, Kolla Blue Skies Magazine

Hey Mark! Yeah - been a member for some time, but just recently started keeping up with the forums, lots of good stuff going on here! CRW is still scary - and CA too far away for me to come out and play - but I might go watch the CRW dogs and puppies in Lake Wales in November, Kirk has already offered to take me up and show me some tricks, so who knows.... Bloooos! Kolla Blue Skies Magazine

Hi Mandy! Thanks for last time - Chicks Rocks was fun!! Anyhow - the best advice I can give you is to try too put a few jumps on the canopies you are considering, and then take it from there. The thing is that it's all about YOU and what you like/dislike - so much rides on your perception of what is fun/good and what may be not so fun/good. Also - another good thing about the Sabre2 (especially in a size that is as popular as the 135) is excellent resale value
