Looking for do's and don't's jumping tandems with a handcam gopro. Any tip is welcome. Are there known safety issues in the field? Any incidents caused by the gopro handcam? Thank you all for your feedback in advance.

I owned a Katana 135, a Crossfire2 119 and jump now a Katana 120. Wingload 2 to 1 with the 120. My experience: The flarepower of the Katana is a little better then the Crossfire2. In zero wind conditions I can walk/run out the Katana easily, the Crossfire2 mades me run faster. The Katana is also a hotter canopy, more dive, longer recovery arc. Openings of the Crossfire2 are absolutly best in class, but I like the Katana 120 openings also. The Katana 135 opens more off-heading on me and I had a reserve ride with the 135. I don't know why, but the Katana 120 opens really better then the 135. They have different sliders, so apparently that is for a reason, but did not solve the "problem" entirely.

Does a PD113R fit in a Javelin RSK1? Anyone? Would like to keep the PD113R because it is in real 123 sq/ft, while a optimum 113 is in real 116 sq/ft, according the PIA canopy volume study list. So that is the reason that a optimum packs smaller...

***I did the exact same thing, except I got a Xfire2 149. I'll jump the Katana when they get a 150 out, since that's not for a while, I don't care. If I jump it and like it, then I'll buy one, otherwise I'll probably never own one. That's basically because they took so long getting it out, that I went to something different. Me too! I was on the demolist for a 135 katana. But when they disappoint me not releasing the 135 and 150, I went to the xf2.

I'm curious; Are there already some people who can make some comparisons?!
