How many of those jumps were at terminal? I think Dave was looking for feedback on high speed jumps, since he already has two vented canopies. Thanks Tom, Thats exactly what kind of info I'm looking for. What are the benefits of the vents on delays over 7 sec. or are there any. Most of my jumps are between 250ft to 350ft so I don't have much experience with the longer delays. What I do know is that a 7 sec. delay with my Fox 285 V-tec slams me harder than any no slider opening I've ever had. And I used both direct and indirect slider control and rolled the nose. I take it everybody gets slammed with the vented canopies a terminal? "When it comes to BASE, I'll never give advice, only my opinion"

Are you ordering one with or without vents? I'm trying to decide wheather to order a Fox or Flik for my new Vertex. Already have two V-tecs, can't decide if I really need three. Is everybody going to vents on all their canopies now or keeping one non-vented canopy for terminal jumps. I split this discussion off of the "Blackjack v. Flik" thread, because it looked like it was moving onto the topic of vented v. unvented canopies. ~Tom Aiello "When it comes to BASE, I'll never give advice, only my opinion"

I don't think there is enough of them out in the field for anybody to give a review yet. I know someone who just ordered one, so it will be awhile before I see one first hand. I'm waiting myself. Life was so much easier when there was just the Fox and the Mojo. "When it comes to BASE, I'll never give advice, only my opinion"

I want to hear anything about the Flik. I heard about the 5th brakeline and it has a better glide than a Fox. Is more glide always better?! I like the idea of a stronger flare, who doesn't. I guess what I want to hear is a comparison. Do the flight and landing characteristics between a Flik and a Fox differ as much as a Stiletto to a Sabre. Or is it more like comparing a Sabre to a Sabre2. I love both my Fox canopies. But as we speak my new Vertex is being build and I don't know which canopy to put in it. How I hate these kind of decisions. "When it comes to BASE, I'll never give advice, only my opinion"

How does the Troll (Vented) preform slider off? It's going to be hard to beat the onheading preformance I get with my Fox 285 V-tec's. I sent them off to have the valve covers installed hoping that will give me a stronger flare. C-Ya "When it comes to BASE, I'll never give advice, only my opinion"

How about the Flik? Anybody land one yet? "When it comes to BASE, I'll never give advice, only my opinion"

If you live in the mid-west you got to love "A"s or almost nothing at all. Plus they keep you in great shape. It's a win- win situation. If you don't look at the radiation factor. BASE 772 "When it comes to BASE, I'll never give advice, only my opinion"
