I've heard rumors that PD is working on a new line of canopies. Does any one have any info? Like dates of relase and types of canopies?

Hi, I currently have a PD 113R which I've never had to jump (knock on wood) Anyway I'm getting ready to order a new container and I am debating between a 106 or a 113R. I'd be loading the 113 @ about 1.7:2 and the 106 @ 1.8:3 and I was wondering if anyone has jump at PD reserve at either of these wingloadings. According to PD's website the maximun weight for both the 113 and the 106 is 220, that's why I'm considering the 106. Thanks in advance Lance

Stiletto's at Higher Wingloadings
Skydive2 replied to Skydive2's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
I currently fly a Stiletto 120 loaded at 1.6:5 and I love the canopy, but I feel the need to downsize. I've got 2 jumps under a Stiletto 107 loaded at 1.8, but It was at an unfamiliar DZ, and it was very windy, so I never really got a chace to test it. I'm thinking now of going to either a 107 Stiletto, or a 97 which I would wingload at about 2.0:1. I was wondering if anyone has experience with Stiletto's at these much higher wingloadings. Many people have told me that its not a good idea to go much over 1.9 under stiletto's, and I should consider crossbraced. I'd rather stay with the stiletto, and I'm just trying to get some input! Thanks in advance! BTW: Great Forum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
