Katana questions

Recommended Posts

I've been told by my dealer that the logo is available at 500$!!!

It adds pack volume! I had a 107 that I put about 150 jumps on, got a 97 demo with the logo and I felt that the 97 with logo packed larger than the 107 without logo.

So I really see NO reason to get one. I sort of like the logo, but not to the extent were I'd pay an additional 500$ and add that much pack volume.

On a side note after trying the 97 there wasn't any turning back to the 107! Selling the 107 used was probably the easiest thing I've done! It was sold 6 hours after I put out the add, and I got good money for it too! I got my 107 in Feb, and my 97 two weeks ago, and it had a s/n about 350 higher than the 107. PD is really pumping those babies out aren't they!?

Man, that is one cool picture you have in your avatar B| - check your PM ;)

Adding artwork to canopies definitely increases the packing volume - depending on the size of the logo and the design.
The Katana logo does add a little bit of volume - and that combined with many of the demos being brand new makes for a little bit of a challenge packing.

Enjoy your little 97 - I will have to start picking colors for my new Katana soon!

I've jumped both the katana 120 and the samurai 120. They are very different canopies. The Katana dives longer and has a slightly steeper glide. I've also seen that the katana has a better flair than the samurai.
The samurai doesn't seek as much on opening though

*take note though I am comparing a katana with 400 jumps (new lines) to a samurai with close to 1500 jumps (also new lines)
