Aviatrr 0 #1 October 18, 2001 I'm looking for firsthand info from anybody that jumps a Samurai.. How are the openings? How does it fly in front risers? Does it dive long after releasing front riser, allowing a lot of speed to be built up? I plan on demoing a Samurai first chance I get(hopefully this weekend), but would like some info other than what I have read on the website.. Anybody with any firsthand experience with the Samurai, please let me know what you think.. I'll be loading the canopy at 1.5 to 1.65, depending on the size I go with..Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aviatrr 0 #2 October 18, 2001 Also I need info on pack volume for the Samurai.. I know that, being an airlocked canopy, it will not pack as small as a similar non-airlocked canopy, but does anybody have any specifics?Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krishan 0 #3 October 19, 2001 I should be getting my new lotus next week and I've been reading the general owners manual from their website. It's got some great information.It states that packing volume will be about 5% more than a canopy of same size without airlocks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
