phoenixlpr 0 #101 May 9, 2009 QuoteI believe the current canopy that Chris is jumping is a Katana 97? Correct me if I'm wrong. That's quite an aggressive canopy, even at that WL. Speed isn't the only factor, either. Malfunctions like line twists turn into a big deal, and at our experience levels, is that something that we can recognize and deal with fast enough? You could be under a Katana 97. Is that the reason why you are so sour? Only the time can prove if he is right or wrong. Its never the canopy, it always the pilot.

format 1 #102 May 9, 2009 Quote Its never the canopy, it always the pilot. THIS is tattoo to make, in stone or brain. Maybe like this "It never is the canopy, it is the pilot, allways". hmm, isn't there some wonderfull science and somebody skilled in, to shed some light on why is it so, that I will never know how is it actually to fly Katana 97 at 1per1 loading? Or why the guy 97@1 will NEVER know how is it for me to fly Navigator 240, same wl? It has to do with scaling models, I'm sure there's some smart people out there to share their wisdomWhat goes around, comes later. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are right. Thats not for a faint hearted. Man, don't jump that, you are going to hurt yourself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phoenixlpr 0 #104 May 9, 2009 Quotewhy is it so, that I will never know how is it actually to fly Katana 97 at 1per1 loading? Because you never tried. You might try a Katana97, but your body is different, so your WL and experience will be. QuoteOr why the guy 97@1 will NEVER know how is it for me to fly Navigator 240, same wl? Becuase he can never try that.... QuoteIt has to do with scaling models, Keep on repeating....... I did jump a Cobalt135 with 12Kg of extra weight, before I tried a 105. My WL was close, but the experience was different. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
