    I'll throw my 2 cents in and my preference, not the most popular, but by far the most comfortable and best fitting rig. Buy a Racer 2K3

    Id say it took about 6 weeks give or take a few days, I kept changing stuff. Jennine there was pretty patient with me shes awesome to deal with and I also got a few calls from Nancy that showed me alot about the company I love my racers man. Call up there and ask to talk to Jennine she'll let you know about the progress.

    My first canopy off student status jump 26 was on a heatwave 190 loaded 1:1 I absolutely loved it sometimes it opened a bit hard but I liked it so much that I bought a 2002 heatwave 135 which I load at 1.4:1 everyone says your not supposed to fly ellipticals with few jump numbers but ive jumped nothing else, I wont jump squares again, also they used to warn people about jumping squares when there used to jumping rounds. It is different than what your used to and is not most docile canopy you have to fly it from opening to landing, they have excellent flare and great landings and turn on a dime. If you do decide to jump it be careful learn how to fly it. Talk to your instructors have one of them jump it and give you thier opinion if you should jump it or not. Its going to be a blast though. I also have a stilletto 120 my 135 heatwave flies just like the stilletto maybe even better. Be safe Be smart

    What Oklahoma really needs is a turbine dropzone, this is the most likely and best suited place for it. As for my experience! The staff is great very welcoming, plenty of instructors,tandem masters, video. The pilot was awesome! Id definitely jump there again when I get the chance. Im from OKC and normally jump at pegasus air sprots in Chickasha. Both great drop zones!
