Balance 190
Rated by: dancy (more about me) on 2008-09-01 00:37:37 (user reviews) Review ID:2053

Pros: Very docile, easy to land
Cons: Hard opening

I jumped this type of canopy a couple of times. The openings were a little hard but on-heading. Once I had a line-over on it which I managed to clear. One of the cells on the top tore however (huge hole, that couldn't be seen from under the canopy) but the canopy was stable and put me very softly on the ground. My wing loading is 1.1. Very good, forgiving student canopy especially if packed carefully... :-)
