You want to try a Samurai with the regular line set (there's a longer line set for swooping).



why yes, yes I do

I think the vengeance also falls in the "fun to fly PLUS fun to swoop" category, but I've never flown a katana so can't compare.



yuck, didn't like it at all, it lines up equivalent to a Sabre1 in my book

The Katana set up swoops nice, but is boring to fly.



I didn't realize how boring my canopy flight was until now! :$

Sillly me I thought I was having fun! ;)

You probably think Relative Work ( it doesn't matter if it is belly, vertical or canopy relative work) is fun too!!>:(>:(

It is Relative Work not relative fun. B|


Oh no! I thought I enjoyed 4 way too! I need to reevaluate all my skydiving.

If you have no interest in "high performance" landings, why get a high performance canopy anyways



Cuz that's what the cool kids are jumping.

Duh.


That's certainly part of it, and why a lot of 4way girls I know jump stilettos is beyond me since they only use them to get down for the next jump and never FLY them, seems to me a safire, spectre, pilot etc would be a much smarter choice. However a hp canopy IS more fun to fly, that's why I like flying a (borrowed) vengeance 120 when I don't swoop as such. I did practice turning low and adding some speed on purpose, won't be my favorite sport ever but at least I'm better prepared should I have to turn low or something. Still, my safire and fusion are safer for me and still fun to fly at this size. Personally I find the safer choice cooler ;)
