It will be ok

Rated by: brinary01 on 2009-04-11 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Smart in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing

SO the first question is how to rate a canopy I have only flown once, sense the only thing I have to compare with are various main canopies I will compare all the canopies with cars. Everyone here drives assume and I imagine most everyone reading this has pushed many cars to the limit. So here is the line up
Saber 2 190 = Ford focus ST
Navigator 210 = Ford Ranger Sport
Vengeance 170 = Honda civic SI
Smart 175 = Ford Focus LX
First sense I was in a dive below 2000FT My body position was Sh!7 none the less the Smart opened nicely on heading. Flight was very smooth and predictable. The flare was nice and predictable. In the end how can you really rate something that is the last resort it opened, I landed on the DZ, I lived to jump another day you will not be disappointed in a reserve canopy.

Gives a lot of confidence

Review of: Smart in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: On heading openings
Cons: none

Have rode my smart 110 twice, at a wl of 1.5 . First time a spinning mal on a stiletto 107. Perfect fast on heading opening. No wind at all and straight in landing, felt it came down quite quick and landed a litle bit hard on my plants though standing. Second time was a total mal. Opened fast and totally on heading, because of the terminal speed it felt hard but not too bad. Very light wind, did a 90 turn and landed fantasticaly soft. After inspection, no damage at all. I am no rigger but pack my own reserve, so it gives great confidence to have a reserve that opens like this.
