Review is in comparision with Stiletto of same size. Like the Stiletto the Katana is quick to respond to inputs and has some similar flight characteristics. The canopy required less force for harness input and responds very quickly to them. The same is true for riser and toggle inputs.The riser pressure is lighter than that of the Stiletto. The canopy has a steep dive, and recovers well making for good plane out and swoop. The openings have been consistantly soft and on heading. This is not a canopy for inexperienced canopy pilots.
