Haven't put many jumps on my crossfire 2 149 loaded at 1.5 yet, but compared to my previous canopy (crossfire 1) it's a world of difference. Compared to the crossfire 1: openings are the same, toggle turns are much more responsive and faster, riser pressure is lighter, flare is about the same. I'm loading it on the light side, but it's still a fun, responsive canopy to learn how to swoop on.

I had a crossfire 1 169 that didn't need the line mod. I loved the openings (especially coming from a Sabre) and flare, a step or two on calm wind days is all you needed. the glide was great and long spots were no issue. the thing that got me (and the reason I sold it) was the riser pressure was insanely high (fronts and rears), after about a 180 degree turn it was almost too much to hold down. I'm getting a Xfire2 now, so lets see if it gets any better (I just love those Icarus openings)
