slow openning is actually good news right now,

any more info out there ?

thanks !

Someone who stopped jumping a while ago has given me a Viper 135.
Anyone have any experience with this canopy ?
What are the opennings like, etc ?

Thanks!

Many thanks for all the replies.
I have about 1000 jumps, so I will try out your suggestions after my neck has recovered sufficiently.
I've had a sabre 1 for a long time and it's been a great canopy (I used to shoot a lot of video too) but it gave me a good slam the other day after some work was done it. I probably just need a smaller pilot chute, but I think it's time for a new canopy anyway.

I want to get a new canopy that is as reliable as possible for soft openings, given correct packing etc. (I'm recovering right now from a really bad one).
Seems like a Spectre with dacron lines is the way to go,
Any comments ?

Thanks...

I should be heading up to Deland from Ft Lauderdale, anyone need a ride from somewhere en route please PM me,
