jheadley 0 #26 November 3, 2006 QuoteI've jumped a few larger Nitros and I like them. Very stable in brakes, moderate opening speed (which I like; I have 1000 foot snivels) Quote Is 1000 a typo? You said in your thread titled "Nitro 108" that "Opening happens in about 300 feet". Also in the thread "going low" you sayQuote"If you have a canopy that really snivels for 900 feet - for god's sakes, fix your gear! If a canopy will not save your life if deployed near 1000 feet, or will cause a two-out if deployed at 1800 feet with a cypres installed, it is not a very good lifesaving device.

I've only tangled them all up once and it was my fault. Personally I like having all my stows exactly the same. I prefer continuous linesets to cascaded now. I will never buy a canopy with Spectra lines again. Vectran is okay though. I had a Jedei with new Spectra lines and I really didn't like packing it. Coated Spectra was nasty compared to the Technora of my Nitron.NSCR-2376, SCR-15080 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites MotherGoose 0 #28 November 7, 2006 Maybe I should contact someone at PA and demo a Nitron. It sounds like a great canopy.You think you understand the situation, but what you don't understand, is that the situation just changed.
