    You left out the Sabre2 which is a much better swooping canopy than the stiletto.

    What Drew said is right on. The idea with short recovery canopies is to perform a turn with a slow enough rate that you can evaluate at all times whether you're gonna be high or low. Always keep turning (use harness if riser pressure becomes too important) and keep the last degrees of your turn for the last moment: if you're too low you can always level the canopy and finish turning at the same time (make sure you know how to do this by practicing a lot), if you're too high then those last few degrees of turn should help keep you losing altitude for those last few feets. Obviously you'll have to adapt when switching to a canopy with a longer recovery arc so that you let more time for the canopy to recover. Most important of all: Please be very careful and make sure you are leaving yourself plenty of outs when deciding in which way to turn as sometimes you will have to abort your turn and land in the direction you're heading.

    Yeah! Guinness!! and plenty of it to make up for all the times when people bring tasteless stuff!!! I've been to quite a few DZ (France and US) and I have always been the only to bring Guinness, hence my nickname. Of course I usually also bring something else as not so many people (at least here in France) drink that kind of beer.
