I just jumped my Safire for the first time the other day. I didn't quite milk all the flare out of it and had to run it out (I didn't mind). The winds were strong though, and I anticipate it will take some dialing in for no wind days. Mine is loaded at 1.4 and it is really nice. Quick and responsive, and such a nice opening! I'm glad I bought it and can't wait for the weather to clear so I can go again! I never thought I'd want to just do a hop n pop, but I will now.
