    I also wonder if the modification will contribute to more landing injuries. Yes it will ... Just got a new harness with the mod ... tend to leave it as loose as possible ...

    Jump the rig ... if the openings are not for you ... move on As most others have said there is nothing wrong with the SA1 ... just slightly different when compared to more modern canopies

    Agree ... learn to walk

    Dont see the difference between paying say $100 for assembly after you receive the new rig or you pay an extra 100 for assembly at the time you hand over the cash for the rig Personally - I'd either do it myself or have a rigger of my choice do it for me

    Question is, of anyone who finds this thread that has landed more than one type of reserve, what reserve landed the most like a main? ........ Smart 99 @ 1.8 .... Responsive ... good lift on landing Smart 110 @ 1.68 ... as above Tempo 150 @ 1.23 ... Slow (!) .. not much lift PDR 126@ 1.46 ... Flew well ... good lift on landing I am happiest with the Smart 99 or the PDR 126, fly real well and lots of power when needed hope this helps Flipper

    Agree .. if it spins up and is diving ...I chop it ( 6 so far )... I'd rather go pick my main up from a field than have someone pick me up from lying in a field.... Dont agree with the fight it theme ... it might be ok if you have the ability to recognise that the situation is recoverable ( I certainly dont have that ability )but fucken deadly if you cant ...

    Too true ... pack em right and they are tip top canopies ... any canopy will slam you at some point ...
  21. flipper
    Also prefer more loaded canopy inthe conditions that you described ....
