The French Ninja

Recommended Posts

I've just tried the new Ninja 94/102 form PdF this weekend. It is a crossribbed ZP elliptical canopy with the ribs of F-111 fabric. This makes it pack smaller than e.g. Velocity and a bit easier to put into the d-bag. I just got four jumps on the canopies, but got an good impression on how they fly. With the 94 I got about 2.0 in wingloading. It turns extremely fast and dives quite a lot on both toggles and frontriser. However in straight flight it has a very flat glideangle. This makes it a bit different from other crossbraced on the market. It requires a different technique to achieve the same speed prior to a landing.
It has a lot of power in the flare which I was far from been able to get the maximum out of.
It should be a good alternative for Europeans due to the disfavourable high dollar exchange rate.
I would love to hear impressions on the canopy from others who have tried it.
Jacob
