My first downsize canopy, awesome!
Rated by: Melt16 (more about me) on 2008-09-16 10:10:06 (user reviews) Review ID:2067

Pros: Fast, smooth on-heading openings, easy to land
Cons: None

I was doing my initial AFF jumps on a 285. My instructor has since put me on a ZP.EXE 235 and I am loving it. It opens quickly and so smoothly and it feels great to fly. My landings seem much easier than the previous canopy I was using and I'm sure I'll be using this for a long time until its time to buy my own.

Decelerator
Rated by: altichick (more about me) on 2005-07-22 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1328

Pros: It opened
Cons: Stalls easily and didn't fly straight

Opened at termnal and wasn't too bad (my first so I have nothing to compre it to!) To fly it straight there was a 12+ inch difference in toggle heights!! Stalled easily and landed hard. Overall glad it worked and saved my ass but I'm looking at test jumping some other reserves because I'm not sure I want to fly and land that again! Also having problems contacting the manufacturer :(

Good canopy
Rated by: tuscan (more about me) on 2004-10-20 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1103

Pros: It opens
Cons: Confused as it was a 7 cell

Well, it opened, but if you have a SA set up and you are under one, and counting to make sure everthing is ok, REMEMBER it is a 7 cell not a 9 :-) Also the flare was good, after a high speed mal, and the opening was fast, just what you need at low altitudes. I did have a brused area, but that was down to the speed it opened.. Nice clean opening, glad I worked really
