Ooops Guess I should have read all the posts and saw that you had alread picked one. Oh well. Still maybe you will use it some other time.

Check out "C'mon C'mon" By Go Betty Go. Definitely bangin song to put skydiving to and it's chicks.

I was thinking that the slack I saw was the culprit for the huge amount of oversteer I was seeing on front riser hooks. Don't get me wrong it was easiliy tackled by starting the turn higher and finishing with double fronts and just a little extra on the opposite riser to stop it. However there were a couple of times I got on it and felt it was gonna spin up. Monk

It has a recovery arc. All canopies do. Perhaps you are just starting your turn too low and not allowing it to recover. Also, why would there be slack in the rear line groups? The only reason I would see this happening is when you are pulling down the fronts and you have toggles in your hands, in the case that the brake lines are too short, it will pull the tail down leaving slack in the D's and possibly the C lines. Ir shouldn't happen from simply pulling on the fronts. The lines could be bowing from drag created by the lines also. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In Reply To -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground Hungary! Nonexistant natural recovery arc. Definitely designed with rears in mind. My least favorite aspect....SEVERE oversteer. Thought I was gonna spin it up a couple of times. If you get on the fronts take a look at the rears!!! Almost completely Slack! So flying strictly on the front leading edge. Which is why I think it has way too much oversteer. The shut down was great! Will dive forever and a day. Had to start my turns much higher than I would have initially thought. Plus I thought it needed to be loaded a little more than I was loading it at. All in all there will be lots of people who will like this canopy. But you will have to learn how to fly all over again with this thing. Camera Flyers will F*CKING love it for the openings and the better performance than their Xfire2's.

I was stressing my point of it being ground hungary. But thank you for showing me and EVERYONE else how f*cking smart you are and how much more you know. Of course it has a F*CKING recovery arc. My point was that it was designed with rears in mind. PERIOD! I bet you were a hall monitor in grade school werent you? Take a moment and correct my spelling and grammar and punctuation too while you're at it you f*cking dork. And as for your horseshit theory about the brake lines too short.....get a grip. God I love it when someone comes on and posts telling me I am wrong. Were you there while I was flying the damn thing? No...then shut your Cryhole. What an ass. Monk

Thanks. Will be sending the request friday. I certainly appreciate your help. Spence

Jumped my friends Neos 119. I'm 240lbs out the door so you can do the math. Openings were butter! Severly nice. Ground Hungary! Nonexistant natural recovery arc.

Hey Dan. I'm filling out the demo request for an onyx. Would like to demo a 115. Are any of the 115 Demo's lined with the longer diving lineset? Or is it just the standard? Thanks Spence

Hey all. I'm pretty much just a west coast guy, but my boss will be spending lots o time in ft lauderdale (his other home) which means there I will be there enough to take my rig and jump. What's a great DZ to go to? I prefer DZ's without major attitude problems. ie...I've had enough of "want to prove to everyone skygods." Just looking for cool peeps and caravan equivalent or better. Monk

My FAVORITE one I saw about a month ago on the 91 in parking lot style traffic. It was a super cute blonde driving a red car and said.... "If you're gonna ride my ass at least pull my hair" Oh man did I ever want to talk to her! Monk

I know why. It's because you girls are incredibly stupid! There I said it. We all know it...I just have the minerals to say it. Before I get flooded with hate posts...you know I'm right and on top of that us guys are even more stupid. We want that hot chick who will treat us like a piggy bank and then stomp on our hearts. So we're no better. Once we acknowledge our mutual stupidity only then can we move on and maybe make the better choices. Or some bullshit like that....blah blah blah blah Monk

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA lol oH that's f*ing cold! hahahahaahhahahaahah Whew! Monk

I answered #1 but truth be told...it was actually on the way down after I dropped all the jumpers. ;) Once you all get out it's my turn to have fun. And girls I am newly single. Dating the jump pilot can have advantages. Monk

Hey Thanks cobalt dan for the reply. My next question for you is...Is there any possibility to demo an onyx 115 with both the standard line trim and the longer line trim? Do you have both of those in stock to demo? And basically I'm looking for porportions similar to my comp cobalt ie dive and recovery arc just smaller faster and more rigid if you know what I mean. Are they similar beasts? Does the latest version of the onyx open as sweet as my comp cobalt 135? Monk

Hmmmm maybe then I will just get a smaller comp cobalt and wait and see for another year or so. Monk
