I bought mine for $1300 USD with approx. 300 jumps on it...I think I got a pretty good deal. I would suspect you are going to need a reline in short order with that many jumps on the lines, I broke a couple on a jump with ~400 on the lineset. I do like the canopy but I haven't jumped any other crossbraced canopies, my biggest complaint would be high front riser pressure but if I nail the setup it is alright. nakEd

49...I thought there were some large holes in the quiz myself, though I expected to score high with my currency. nakEd

Xaos 21 vs JFX openings?
EduardoVincente replied to freeflydemon's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
I have about 350 jumps on my Xaos 21 - 118, I love the canopy! The openings are really good for the vast majority of jumps I have on it. As previously mentioned it will search around a little bit but if you just go with it it usually works out. I can think of a couple of times that it rung my bell but I am sure that they were just anomalies. Fun to fly...haven't flown a JFX so no comment on that. nakEd -

Jumps 1 to 30 - Student canopies, 280 to Fury 220 Jumps 31 to 70 - PD 190 (F-111) @ 1.1 Jumps 71 to 320 - Safire 169 @ 1.2 Jumps 321 to 370 - Stilleto 150 @ 1.35 Jumps 371 to 500 - Space 130 @ 1.6 to 1.75 Jumps 501 to 735 - Xaos 21 118 @ 1.95 to 1.75 I took a introductory canopy piloting course at approx. 60 jumps and took an advanced canopy piloting course at approx. 500 jumps. No injuries from landings (gonna knock on some wood here...) though I would be lying if I didn't admit to having a few close calls. I have dedicated a number of jumps to canopy piloting, approximately 150 hop & pops and continue to do so. The reason for the funny looking wing loadings was a substancial weight gain followed by a diet to return to a more fit weight. nakEd
