lilchief 0 #26 November 8, 2007 Quote Yep - same thing was said, and will be said, every time we take a step up in performance. There will always be those that get a little ahead of themselves, but we must do what we can to look after each other. I think that with 300 HMA as only option will stop many from ordering due to maintenance. I think that's good because then only the competitors will get them, and they are most likely qualifed Quote And the PD Factory Team has already brought those canopies to Norway - just a little bit under cover at the time - I'm sure you will see them again next year! WOOOT? I've then seen them, even touched them with out even knowing it! I'm blessed!!! YeeEEHAA!!!

Rdutch 0 #27 November 9, 2007 Quote Quote Quote I do want to emphasize that this is a canopy for highly experienced and dedicated canopy pilots - this is not a canopy that we expect to see go mainstream. I don't think so. Any manufacturer would want to get their R&D money/investment back... You do realize that Kolla works for PD, right? I think she knows what she's talking about So Kolla, what do I need to do to try one of these out? Learn how to swoop first would be a good start, lol! Ray Small and fast what every girl dreams of!

crazydiver 0 #31 November 10, 2007 Quote It is called the "Grant"... They saw my high performance capabilities and were so amazed that they decided to name the canopy after me! hahaha I suppose that makes sense. You are aerodynamic and can go really fast without even trying Cheers, Travis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
