Attention Turf Surfers: load it up and
let it soar!! With a very deep range of flare,

toe-touch soft landing.

Fandango

Rated by: marcin (more about me) on 2003-10-18 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:801

Pros: Fast
Cons: hard opening, spins with line twists, average glide and poor flare, buckling with front riser input!

Made about 20 jumps on 105 loaded about @1.9 and a few on a 120. Had to cut away on jump 16 due to unrecoverable line twists on 105. Both opened really hard, no matter how packed. Sinks heavily, little bottom end when landing. Quite fast approach with front riser and relatively long swoops are possible. However the way the leading edge buckled when I pulled the front riser really scared me. Properly designed parachute should not do that. Definitely not for beginners, due to tricky landing and speed. Line twists may not be recoverable, since it may spin immediately and heavily.
