x-wing
Rated by: marcin (more about me) on 2003-10-18 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:802

Pros: stable, often nice opening, flies large, small packing
Cons: slow in turns, flare very hard to dial in and not too long

Made about 30 jumps on X-Wing 105 @1.8-1.9. When packed very simply (no slider pulled, front cells rolled, tail only 1-2 rolls) opened well, ocassionally hard when freefall speed was higher than usual. Flies very large, feels very stable, but also very sluggish in turns. One can turn it a bit faster with the rear risers. Landing very-very difficult to dial in. When braked floats quite well back from long spots. Packs very small.
