PhreeZone 20 #3 September 17, 2002 Depending on the canopy and its shaping you may need to pay more attention to body position then others.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kris 0 #4 September 17, 2002 I have a lot of hop & pops logged with my Stiletto and a few on a Heatwave. I just made sure I had good body position, gave it 2-3 seconds and pitched. It snivels a bit more and you may have to fly the opening a while longer but I've never had a problem.

SkymonkeyONE 4 #5 September 17, 2002 I have never experienced any "problem" with hop and pops under an elliptical. Just make sure you pull with your shoulders square to the wind. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kirils 1 #9 September 20, 2002 I'm using a Diablo 150 for balloon jumps from 3000'. I pull at about 2200. No Problems. Now there is no way I'd try it with my Xaos..."Slow down! You are too young to be moving that fast!" Old Man Crawfish Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmcd308 0 #10 September 20, 2002 I'll second what everyone is saying about body position. Even on a Hornet, I have been lazy about body position at pull time and wound up with a bunch of twists. It sucks to be flat on your back at 14 grand fighting with your risers. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
