    Sorry I didnt mean to say that the JFX was tame what I meant was that daedalus had tamed it down from the VX and JVX. I know its not a tame canopy I just meant that it is not as much of a handfull as a vx,JVX or VELO. I know its another level up from a Katana and Xfire and requires 1005 ATTENTION 100% OF THE TIME. cHEERS

    really thats not what daedalus or Brett Newman or Luigi Canni say. Have read the blurb on the NZ aerosports say. But if you haVE FLOWN BOTH i DONT KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE

    actually WL 1.78 on 119 someone said I neede a 104 Ithink it was and that was WL of 2 And my current WL is 1.6 on the Xfire

    with my swoop coaching from Matty Harris and the fact that if I do get in the corner it is very,very shallow in the corner and its very rare, as long as I take it easy I think I will be fine and if the DZSO or DZCI or the most talented guy at the DZ says IM over my head I'll go back to the Xfire139 until they are happy.

    I will have about 450 jumps before I get the JFX119 and the JFX is NOTHING like a JVX,VX velo or XAOS . It is the tamest crossbrased canopy daealus could come up with used for wingsuit camera RW freefly and jumphog jumps so why do you say Im a DGIT. Especially when I carve my front riser turns instead of whiping myself vertical and just being a passenger along for the ride. In a carve if Im running out of altitude I let go of the riser and take an out.

    At 119 I have the correct entry WL 1.8 but a 109 would give ma a WL at 2 which I think is a bit too much of a jump from 1.6 with my jump numbers pluss I chose the119 JFX so I dont have to downsize my rig. If I got a 12o katana or 119 xfire I would need a new container and reserve and at the moment Im not working

    I dont posess the skills to jump a JVX

    what is a DGIT?

    The only reason that Im worried about the poenings is that I have quite a few ruptured discs. Xfire openings are fine I just dont want a caqnopy that will snap open and the JFX seems fine in the poenind dept as far as I have read. I dont have the skill level to be jumping a VX or JVX and velos can open hard if you dont wash all you speed from a track as I understand. Thanks stay high

    Sparky I apriciate you concern and know that I will never stop learning and have no intention being rreckless. I am getting swoop coaching in Dec by matty Harris. I f my chief instructor didnt think tahat I would be capable he would just say NO. He is a safety nutt. And Im sure that the most skilled jumper at my DZ would nort have offered me a jump on his velo 111 if he didnt think that I could jump it without causing danger to myself or others. Straight in landing with a few knots of consistant wind. Also I dont pitch myself vertical so Im just on for the ride. I carve my front riser turns so if i SEE iM RUNNING OUT OF ALTITUDE i JUST LET GO OF THE RISER AND VEAR OFF IN ONE OF MY OUTS. Im quite happy with my xfire swoops but hopefully Matty Harris will help improve them even more
