I just did about ten jumps with a Vengeance 97 while normally jumping a Stiletto 107. Had a great time getting much more swoops out of it. But will need a smaller one. My exit weight is between 140 and 150 lbs.
My rigger, who lent the canopy to me, told me to be aware of dives to the right after opening. It started doing those dives after great soft openings. When I discussed that with the owner he told me what PD had told him. A parachute is an individual. I found that after the next jumps (anyway always hands on risers and no change in the packing-method) the canopy began to know me or other way round. I obviously learned to push down the left leg to stop it from diving. It never dove again. What a beautiful storyÉ
