filioque 0 #1 May 7, 2008 I have started jumping my new Precision Aerodynamics Nitron 170. I can not believe the range of flight this canopy has. Slow, to super fast. My last canopy was a Fusion 190. Does anybody have any helpful comments. I love this canopy and would love to become an expert at flying it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sergey-san 0 #2 May 8, 2008 It's a very popular canopy on our DZ, we've got 4 or 5 of them in various sizes, I believe one of them is even the original Nitro by HiPer USA... or maybe even that is not original:))) somebody in Europe came up with the disign:)))) but those two horns on the top skin, I don't what they're supposed to stabilize but they look funny:))) I wonder why Precision didn't acquire license to produce Blade, since that looks more of a hight performance canopy????

millertimeunc 0 #3 May 8, 2008 I jump a Nitron 170 loaded just a touch lighter than yours. I use it for wingsuiting, and I've got nothing but good things to say about it. Great openings on a few less-than-perfect pack jobs. In line twists, it plays nice until I kick out of them. It dives well, or it can hang with the tandems. I like having the option to get down last if the pattern is too congested. The best things in life are dangerous. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DougH 270 #4 May 8, 2008 Over heard in Eloy during the holiday boogie: "How the hell can you fly around with two big hot dogs on the top of your canopy. I can't do crew with that guy, I would have to eat his canopy!" "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J_Cook 0 #5 May 9, 2008 I jump a 135 Nitron and love it. It would be perfect for me if it stayed in a dive just a little bit longer, but for now it does everything that I need it to. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
