rehmwa 2 #27 July 15, 2008 QuoteI think the vengeance also falls in the "fun to fly PLUS fun to swoop" category, but I've never flown a katana so can't compare. yuck, didn't like it at all, it lines up equivalent to a Sabre1 in my book ...

You probably think Relative Work ( it doesn't matter if it is belly, vertical or canopy relative work) is fun too!!It is Relative Work not relative fun. "... this ain't a Nerf world."

That's certainly part of it, and why a lot of 4way girls I know jump stilettos is beyond me since they only use them to get down for the next jump and never FLY them, seems to me a safire, spectre, pilot etc would be a much smarter choice. However a hp canopy IS more fun to fly, that's why I like flying a (borrowed) vengeance 120 when I don't swoop as such. I did practice turning low and adding some speed on purpose, won't be my favorite sport ever but at least I'm better prepared should I have to turn low or something. Still, my safire and fusion are safer for me and still fun to fly at this size. Personally I find the safer choice cooler ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
