Do you mean easy-dive loops, which they offer in options list? Or is it something else? Can you post a photo of your set? Thanks in advance! Sergey.

Here is the new front riser loops design by former RWS for Vector Micron and V3 M-series: http://www.unitedparachutetechnologies.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=99 Has anyone tried this already? Any opinions? Thanks, Sergey.

On a small-scale DZ near Moscow where I often jump there are a few Skylark canopies present. A couple of Magellans: one is owned by a person jumping mostly formation dives (150 sq ft) and one for rental gear (190sq ft). One of our camera guys owns Odyssey 130 and I've seen how people jumped here Odysseys 110 and 100 sq ft. The guy who owns Magellan 150 said that he didn't have any troubles with openings and getting back from far-away corners getting on his rears or applying half-breaks. The Odyssey is more like a Crossfire, owners even say that their Odysseys are superior to the Crossfires, I'll doubt that. But the canopy never the less looks to be quite good. Once we jumped 3-way freefly with the owner of Odyssey 100, the other guy and myself were under Crossfires-2 129, though lightly loaded about 1.4-1.5. After opening with breaks still stowed in place we were flying on the same level with that guy on Odyssey 100! He was also stowing his slider behind his head. The canopy looks to be quite stable and not so ground-hungry. But it flies great! I've seen landings of Odysseys 100, 110 and 130. Nothing fancy:) Last summer one instructor under Katana 107 rocked the place on even pretty conservative approaches doing 180 turns! Maybe everything boils down to the pilot skills in the end
