Brisker and more on-heading openings than the Stiletto. Other than that similar to the Stiletto - flat glide, short recovery arc, snappy turns.
eeeeew! why would anyone want that? aside from the on heading part, the rest sounds like things we don't want from a canopy!
I love faster openings (not snappy like a Sabre.. smooth and steady). I like this type of opening for camera jumps and AFFI jumps. For camera jumps it gives me more time to get back from a long spot & for AFFI jumps it doesn't make me sweat pulling at 2k if it were absolutley necessary. A snivelly canopy + AAD would give me concern about 2-out in that situation.
Short recovery arcs aren't fun if you're wanting to swoop, but it's great for those who fly standard patterns
