Stiletto vs Crossfire2 vs. Katana

At a higher WL, with a slow 270, it could happen.

1.45 is pretty low for a Katana, get it up around 1.8 or 1.9, and it will burn through some alti.

my posted wing loading is wrong, more like 1.7, I have jumped with weights pushing it to 2.0 I do a snappy turn most of the time but even with a slower carving turn I believe a 270 to the ground from a 1000 is an exageration, 700 maybe but not 1000. Shoot the video and proove me wrong or hell just do it and tell me I'll take your word, but I would like to see the technique used.

To the other point, three 360's in one direction does not equal 270 to the ground from a 1000 ft.

I'm just saying that I never had the riser build to the point that I couldnt hold it down.

if your willing to get out of the plane in this weather at 18,000 ft I'll drive down tonight. I'll go to 2k that is enough altitude for me.

I'm hardly willing to go to the DZ in this weather. But I am hoping for spring.
