  1. I had my 1st mal on my Sonic 150, too, but it was 100% my packing. I didn't quite understand the line stow order and gave myself an out-of-sequence deployment. :)

    And now that I have some jumps on my Heatwave 135, I'd say she opens nicely, flies predictably, but a bit flat for what I'm after. It's a nice transition from a 150 to something more responsive for sure, but it's got a really flat glide. Great flare, and has a lot more "grrr" than my Stiletto 135.

  2. Is this just a curiousity type question? I have jumped 2 different Hornets, a 170 and a 135 that are a buddy of mine's. I liked the 170 cuz it was a lot more sporty than the PD 170 I'd jumped before it.

    I currently own and jump a Heatwave 135 and I have a Heatwave 100 waiting at home for me. I'm on a very tight budget, so I can't afford cross-braced, so I will take what I can get. I like the Heatwave 135, but wouldn't mind something trimmed steeper. Good turf surf, good flare.

    I also had a Sonic 150, also made by PISA. I've jumped 13 different canopies (Pilot, Sabre, PD, etc.), but I keep coming back to PISA. Reliable products, especially for the price.

  3. I currently jump a 1992 vector 2 with Type 17 risers (no RSL). I find it to be quite comfortable, probably the 2nd most comfortable out of the 13 different rigs I've tried. It's snug, stays where it should, and doesn't float around during freeflying (Yes I know it's not FF friendly without a couple mods; no lectures req'd. :P My profile pic shows one of the reasons why this rig isn't FF friendly if you don't make mods to it; the tuck tab will fly open and expose your pin.)

    I know newer rigs have better padding in the leg straps, but as far as older rigs go, I'm happy with mine. Not a lot of extra chest strap, though, so if you're barrel-chested or you have silicone you may wanna take this into consideration.

  4. I was in AZ in January and got to meet Josh "Dog" Mitchell. He mentioned that he was done working at that wind tunnel and would going to Colorado at the end of January. You may wanna verify this with him so you can keep your list as updated as possible.
