Well if she wouldn't be with me if i'd continue to skyidive, than she is obiously not the person of my dreams. So i guess i'd choose skydiving! "George just lucky i guess!"

Accordin to all the replies i won't even open it. I'm not missing anything important am i? "George just lucky i guess!"

Who can guess where this "paradise" is? Hint: It's somewhere in central/southern Europe. "George just lucky i guess!"

So no panties you say? Sounds a little more interesting now "George just lucky i guess!"

Huh, if she'd be stranded 200 miles easter in another country - Slovenia i could help. "George just lucky i guess!"

You'll just know. you'll fall into "emptiness" without any pressure of the wind on your chest or back. it's pure joy even if you'll feel it for only a couple of seconds for the first time. You'll just know... "George just lucky i guess!"

Huh everyone speaks about the openings, though the question was about landing characteristics. Well mine Cobalt competition 120 (loaded 1.75) opens verrryy nice too. on average 4-6 seconds long openings (it takes 600 - 1000 feets), and it opens gradually. It doesn't just snivel for 5 seconds than slam. About the landings characteristics. well it's hard to just explain it's easier to compare. but it has a lot of flare power, though i find it twitchier to land perfectly than with other canopies i jumped (impulse, stilleto,...). When you're at the end of flare, just before it stalls it just keeps flying, and flying at very slow speed. But it's hard to get it there because you're so close to the stall point. But on a few landings i just floated Milimeter from stall point. And the whole flare sequence has to be just right so you can hold it there (depends a lot whether you dug it out of the corer, or you were landing perfectly, or braked,.. I have to experiment more to give better details) At mine i also find that the most flare power it has in upper part of the toggle stroke. if you're already in the lower part you'll have hard time climbing, if your dragging your ass over the ground for example, you'll probably land on the ass. unless you'd pull your toggles abruptly for the second half. in first half you can easily climb-gain altitude (well couple of feets of course, not like 100 feet or so ) That of course depends on wing loading too. Maybe a few more details can tell you the guys with more jumps on it than me. I only have about 150 jumps on mine... "George just lucky i guess!"

Huh, i rather wouldn't talk about brand loyalty. You should see a wall in my room "George just lucky i guess!"

i'm all for mirage too

altitude: 9000 feet aircraft: Antonov AN-2 maneuver: demo jump description: did a 6-way speedstar, and we all landed perfectly. About the second load that was the same demo jump, ehm... you don't wanna know "George just lucky i guess!"

My list is like: 1. jumping 2. jumping 3. jumping 4. ... 76. foooood "George just lucky i guess!"

I saw a 30 on video. But i don't know about official record??? "George just lucky i guess!"

oh no problem i wear my rig all the time anyway. sometimes even in my sleep "George just lucky i guess!"

No way that i'd miss high altitude jump "George just lucky i guess!"

I second that "George just lucky i guess!"

ehmm.. sweet mud wrestling You guess for yourself which sex are the competitors "George just lucky i guess!"

i have a suggestion for you florida guys. why don't you send one airplane/boogie here in slovenia. i can count at least 50 people that would gladly jump. That way you won't have problems deciding, and we'll all be very happy Say yes "George just lucky i guess!"
