Venom1986 0 #1 June 21, 2011 Hello everyone I´ve read in the Storm flight characteristics and PD writes: Even though you can “swoop” the Storm, you probably won’t win any competitions with it. Has anyone a Storm an swoop with it, has info and maybe a funy video from it ?

As we are passionated swoopers as well we could not resist to hit the lake close to the DZ with the storms. We also do 270° teamswoops. It seriously got some potential, thanks to its strong dive. The Storm is not a Velo but I consider it the best overall canopy ever, and very suitable for getting into swooping and still keep doors open for all other disciplines.

It was opening, flying and landing OK.

If you dont bring the CF with speed it lands like crapSome canopies can be fun to fly, but treat you like their bitch on opening. -- Jarno Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
