PhreeZone 15 #2 January 14, 2011 Its an aggressive canopy. I've got a few jumps on a 107 and a 120. Its somewhere between a Stiletto and a Katana for its performance.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthewcline 0 #3 January 14, 2011 QuoteIts an aggressive canopy. I've got a few jumps on a 107 and a 120. Its somewhere between a Stiletto and a Katana for its performance. I have a couple of hundred jumps on a Rage, 120, 130 and 140 sized models. They open smooth and with a snivle, around 700 to 800 feet to do so. They have a nice glide ratio and can make it back from long spots like other well known high performance canopies. Make no mistake the Rage is a high performance canopy and when loaded will be just as deadly if flown improperly as any other one. I can be just as aggressive in a dive as the Katana and feels to have a similar dive and recovery. But it is an all around good canopy for the DZ worker/weekend warrior/ experienced canopy pilot. MattAn Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matthewcline 0 #5 January 15, 2011 It is a high performance type canopy, not too many (smart) jumpers under 250 jumps would be looking at this canopy and when they do they are looking at what the max might be.

matthewcline 0 #7 January 17, 2011 Yes Red does have a good program with the trade in deal. When you do move up make sure you step back and retrace your progressions with the new canopy. Be safe!
