Hello, I got a Batwing 116 recently at 1.7 WL. My progression in elipticals are 300 Jumps in a Stiletto 150, 50 jumps on a Stiletto 135, and 30 jumps on this Batwing 116. It´s not a very common canopy here in Brazil. Some people fly it on the South, but I leave in the North (hot, humid, sea level). I asked some guys and they said it´s worst then Stiletto, but I have to get more opinions from pilots that flown both (to have comparison between them). That´s why I posted here. I´d like some tips on doing good swoops FOR FUN (I do only 90 degrees front riser turns). My impressions comparing with my last Stiletto: 1 - Dive speed similar to but recovery arc quite different from the Stiletto. If you wait for the recovery arc to bring it naturally flat (as I used to do in my Stiletto) to just add a little flare at the end, it looses speed before it flattens (flares are deeper also). I have the impression I have always to hang a little bit on the rear risers to correct it´s glide angle on landing. Am I wrong on that? Is it just an impression because of my too few jumps (both total and in this canopy)? 2 - Less mobility during swoop than Stiletto. I could carve and move a litlle bit more in my Stiletto. It seems more "undriveable". Any Batwing pilot could confirm or disagree on that? Any additional Tips on this canopy landing? What´s the SPEED KIT for this canopy, previously mentioned on some messages here? Thanks, Almir de Morisson Brazil
