In my case, Aerodyne asked me to send the canopy to them with my risers attached. There was a form to fill out. At Aerodyne, they jumped it and determined that there indeed was a problem and it was not something they could repair. They said they would replace it at no charge. They would either let me custom order a new canopy or get one they had in stock. I picked one they had in stock. They returned it to me with my risers attached and even reimbursed me for the cost of shipping it to them. This whole process took less than two weeks. They never told me the exact nature of the problem and it didn't occur to me to ask. The replacement works perfectly. I have over 200 jumps on it now. I really love my Pilot and recommend it, and I was impressed with the customer service at Aerodyne. Good luck. Tell us how it all turns out. ... Marion

I had a brand new Pilot that came with a built-in turn. It wasn't as dramatic as what you described however. I would suggest you ask one of the instructors to jump your rig and see what they think. If they agree that there is something wrong with the canopy, send it back. In my case Aerodyne was very helpful. They ended up replacing my canopy with another and I am very happy with it. ...

While you are at it do one that will work on Garmin GPS units.

Will you be having other aircraft in addition to the Super Otter? ... Marion

I had the exact same problem when I purchased my brand new Pilot 168. There was a small turn to the right, and I found myself constantly giving it some left toggle to keep it going in the correct direction. At first I assumed it was me and that my legs straps were uneven or something. Finally after about 20 jumps on it, I asked an instructor to jump it. He agreed, there was a problem with the canopy. Aerodyne took care of it very quickly. I am very happy with the way Aerodyne responded and love my Pilot. Have an instructor jump it, get a second opinion ! ... Marion

Funniest t-shirt I have ever seen... Last weekend, Gary Shaffer gave a baby shower gift to a soon-to-be-mother who is a skydiver. The gift was a little T-shirt for a newborn. On th T-shirt was this message... "There is no such thing as a perfectly good uterus" ... Marion

I jumped all weekend with Matt (cripdaddy) and his new SM1. On the last jump today, he busted out a 196 second jump during which he averaged a 42 mph fall rate. It's not just the suit, Matt is an awesome wingsuit pilot. Way to go Matt !!

I can't wait to see it. Nice looking wingsuit !! ... Marion

I agree... I love my Pilot ... Marion

I have had both canopies. Liked the Triathlon. Love the Pilot. I have a Pilot now and have consistently soft openings. It gives me a great flare, planes out well. I use the 2 stage flare. Tell us what you get ... Marion

Did not read it. My hats are off to the excellent packers at Skydive Atlanta. You guys rock ! I would much rather use a good packer and save my time and energy for skydiving. ... Marion

I like my Mamba a lot. When the lens needed replacement I just bought one from Bonehead for less than $20. I have a friend who also has a Mamba because it was the only helmet he could find that would accommodate eye glassses. It is very easy to raise and lower the visor; and if you forget to put it down and jump with it up it is strong enough to not get torn off. ... Marion

Awesome pics and videos guys. Echoing everyone else it was really a great experience for me. Thanks to the Brothers Gray and Monkeyboy for all the good coaching, organizing and advice. There is nothing like being part of a flock, right next to a brother, cruising high above the earth. Just thinking about that makes me smile ! ... Marion

The other guy was Brian (forgotten his last name). Can't wait to see all the video. Whatever is posted is greatly appreciated. ... Marion

So what is better to do a wingsuit jump from an Otter or a Casa? I have never exited from a Casa, can't wait. ... Marion

Packers? Will you have enough packers available for those of us who would rather jump more and pack less? ... Marion
