masterrigger1 2 #51 January 15, 2007 Dave, If you go with the comp trim and 340 Technora lines, the cost is slightly higher than the standard Vectran. Cheers, MELSkyworks Parachute Service, LLC www.Skyworksparachuteservice.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morris 0 #52 January 16, 2007 1.The NEOS is ground hungry as hell. 2.A friend of mine already got one long time ago (one of the first to get one, full sponsoring as far as I know) and two or even three times he had to stop working (means jumping) for several days due to hard openings. Now he´s almost not using the canopy anymore and does his working jumps on his crossfire canopies... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe the 1st ones didn't have everything good on them.scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Helmut 0 #57 January 22, 2007 I loaded my Katana 107 right at 2.0 and the low end was horrible. When I finally jumped a Velo 103 and could not have been happier. The low end went forever less running. In my experience the openings on the Velo were MUCH better and more consistant. I immedately ordered the Velo and have about 40 jumps on it and could not be happier. Front riser pressure on it much heavier but to me a much better wing at my loading.
