kingbunky 3 #3 July 23, 2007 a lotus 170 would be in that group as well."Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
druvaughn 0 #4 July 23, 2007 I don't know if Icarus sends out demos directly but you should try to get your hands on a Safire 2. I think the Ranch Pro Shop has demos that they rent, plus you would get to jump at the Ranch. Best of luck. Best, Dru- - "Baseball is 90% mental. The other half is physical."

skybytch 259 #5 July 23, 2007 A 170 at 1.24 at 34 jumps? Hopefully no manufacturer would send you a demo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthewcline 0 #6 July 23, 2007 Flight concepts would let you demo a 200, maybe a 190. The Sentry model would be what your looking for. I echo the concern for experience and wing loading. Please talk the idea over with a reputable Instructor from your DZ not just some "cool guy".An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
