I bought a Falcon 150 canopy with almost 500 jumps on it, and initially it seemed to fly ok - I did eight test jumps before buying it. With time and experience I've discovered that openings are almost ALWAYS very brisk (to the point I've stopped looking up after opening because it hurts) unless I roll the nose a lot... and then the openings still suck but are at least not as painful. My landings aren't great on it either, I've been told this is due to the canopy not me... the flare in it sucks.
