marks 0 #51 July 1, 2005 QuoteI dont disagree with that..but do any of you use a short recovery arch canopy for your serious swooping? there are ppes who do.. the stilletto is old technology, that is it. but it was and still is a canopy that can be swoop VERY well.. and like i said before, there is nothing wrong with the way a stilletto swoops, it is the transition to a more modern canopy that can get you...

Rain-man 0 #52 July 1, 2005 True what you say because..a swoop is a swoop..a good swoop is a good swoop...a bad turn is a bad turn. Both of these apply to any canopy. That being said...you have made me think..has anyone out there actually done a reverse transition..ie from a modern canopy to "older type" like a stilletto? Im really looking at this from a dive recovery arch perspective. Im thinking this in response to *** and like i said before, there is nothing wrong with the way a stilletto swoops, it is the transition to a more modern canopy that can get you... *** I think a "reverse" transition can also get you...hard. As long as you are out of dial with your canopy in respect to your previous one..you are at a higher risk IMHO Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob.dino 0 #53 July 2, 2005 Quotearch Arc. Referring to the curve the canopy travels once you let go of the front risers. An arch is something you build as a monument to your glorious victories. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
