Now posting something like that without attaching photos is like waving a beer in front of a recovering alcoholic.

Signature Series is da bomb...... brian builds them himself, and they have a couple nifty features.

How much are those canopies, and how ground hungry? I jumped a 150 Samurai (don't know if it was Signature or not) and it performed like my Stiletto 135, but had more on-heading openings.

You can PM me if you wish.

I don't drink during the day, so I don't know what it is about this airline. I keep falling out the door of the plane.

You can get a non-Signature series at the same cost of a PD canopy. PD actually sews and cuts all the non signature series canopies. The Signature series is a bit more money but you get tweeks to the canopy.

Generally I think the Sam flies a lot like a Crossfire. I can't wait for the Katana 135 to come out to do a head to head on it.

Yikes, I know my Sam 150 loves those diving turns on opening. The former owner, openings were the main reason he sold, was informed by Brian that increasing the wingloading can help with it, but I'm certainly not willing to find out right now. No other issues, and I don't really consider it a problem...just have to be that much more aware once you throw out. Not sure the difference in how the signature series performs (but I'm under the impression that mine was made personallly by Brian as it was ordered directly from him at the WFFC, and Brian made a number of personal calls to the former owner when he couldn't use a certain color for the ribs as requested) but the samurai isn't ground hungry. Thanks to the air locks, I can stay up on level with rectangular canopies at a WL of 1:1 or less, and I stay on level with an equally loaded stilleto without any input.



I got a strong urge to fly, but I got no where to fly to. -PF

The signature series also has no warning label.



Love My Signature Series as well!

Brian advertises even the sig series is quicker than a custom PD. How long did your's take?

I have a Signature Series 120 also



Doesn't that mean you have to get a new signon?
Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

I have no idea... I order in the off season so an 'extended' production period doesn't affect my sport jumping. What does PD quote for production time?

If I switched over to a new Sign-on I'd have to really burn some bandwidth Post-whoring to get my numbers back....;):P
