My 9 cell Pilot has a much flater glide angle but now I'm finding the steeper the angle the easier it is for me to "pick the spot that doesn't move" and land there. Plus my Pilot is a 168 and I'm demoing a 150 so I'm coming in faster too. So at first I was scared out of my mind but now I'm getting use to it and I like it better! I demoed a lot of canopies before purchasing my Pilot and maybe it's because now I'm a little bit more experienced (and I emphasize a little bit) but I truly feel I'm just beginning to learn how to fly a canopy! Very exciting and very FUN! "It is our choices that show what we truly are far more than our abilities." - A. Dumbledore

Yes! At first I was intimidated by the glide angle and couldn't get my flare timing down, but as I've jumped it more I'm getting use to both and standing up my landings! YEAH ME! It's a zippy canopy and a lot of fun to fly. Plus I got to demo a very pretty navy one and it looks very cool up in the sky.

Somebody "got away with one" all right. Maybe he did this and I couldn't tell from the video but when landing on a building aren't you suppose to disconnect your RSL and cutaway? And how do you cutaway a flag that's attached to your foot? "It is our choices that show what we truly are far more than our abilities." - A. Dumbledore

Hey Kim, I received the 150 demo and flew it around over the weekend. One question I have is why is the slider so big? Also, it was packed with the nose rolled and stuffed in, is there a possibility of any problems packing that way? Actually, I must say, my openings were quick, smooth, soft and on heading. I'm having a little trouble getting use to the dive angle and flare timing. But I have next weekend to work more on that. It's just different from what I'm use to. All in all I enjoyed flying it very much and since I want to learn CReW, I think it may very well be a good canopy for a novice to learn on!

GREAT POST! I enjoyed reading it very much. I concur with the others who said you should submit to Parachutist or write a book! Oh, and I'd be a millionaire if I'd gotten a nickel for everytime someone told me to Smile! Freefall is Fun! Flips are Fun! Skydiving is Fun! Because I was a Cindy/Bob too! "It is our choices that show what we truly are far more than our abilities." - A. Dumbledore

GREAT POST! I've been thinking about this very thing for many, many months! I've only been in the sport 3 years and I've got news for ya - that was then - this is now. Where I live, fun jumpers won't support a club unless it has a twin otter! Good luck with that! Jumpers today are just jumping out of planes. It's more about how many points did I turn or how rad was my sit fly then truly BEING a skydiver. You're lucky at least you got to experience the days when BEING a SKYDIVER was a BELIEF in how you chose to live your life and express it. I'm not only disappointed, I'm disgusted and totally disillusioned. "It is our choices that show what we truly are far more than our abilities." - A. Dumbledore

I was thinking good ole H20 but what every floats your boat! "It is our choices that show what we truly are far more than our abilities." - A. Dumbledore
