I love my Ninja, very stable natural flight. =) The suit is agile and speedy if you want. Great for aerobatics and flocking or burn through the sky. The product quality of the suit is great. You can see and feel it. Finally the Ninja is a great wingsuit and worth his price.

My size is 125 sqft.

I don´t know which fat lines you mean ? I see HMA lines and the stearing lines are fat for longer life time.

By 9 minutes you can see Tony´s 111sqft JFX. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALZ1OMR6VsQ

I love my JFX

It´s in the manual page 12.

you also fly the world's largest crossbraced canopy! Maybe, maybe not But the JFX is such a nice canopy. He has the nice consistent opening characteristics of a 7 Cell. Even a line twist is no worry. He can bring you home from a long spot and can fly hassle free, also you have snapy elliptical fun and can fly him very fast if you want. The flare is very powerful for a nice gentlest touchdown or a nice blazing swoopy landing.

Hi, I use a Wings with wingsuit mod and still love it.

For what the Vampire is made speed and distance

Hello at all, I ask me about the difference in performance between the Vampire 3 and the V4. Optical there is more surface but is the performance increase so much higher that it´s worth it to buy a new V4 or it is marginally and better to stay by the V3 ? Thanks for help

I haven't flown a Xaos but I love the way my JFX flys and the soft openings always on heading.

At first the packing is very easy no problem with that ZP Material, unlike other new ZP canopies. The openings are perfect soft and one heading no problem, like my seven cell wingsuit canopy he will displace him :) I love the flight feel of the JFX. He can bring you home from a long spot and can fly flat and slow great for tight landing areas and has still enough power for a gentles touchdown. Also he can dive fast from the sky like a concrete block and is very body sensitive makes fast turns. Fuck Yeah !!! Thanks NZ Aerosports great work :)

My Exitweight is 184 lbs (84 Kg). Wingload is 1,25 and i´ve a storm 150.

Hello, i´ve a little question about the thick of the lines ? How i can calculate the required thick for my body ?

first time a little bit tricky But than easy

I´ve no icon but a wingsuit mod on my wings. It includes a moded dbag, open corners and a longer bride with a biger pilot chute.

I'm lucky with my Storm, great openings and funny, sporti to fly If I want

Hi, On the description of the canopy, you can read you can jump wingsuit with it. Is this possible ? Has the canopy more the ability of the 7-cell canopy than the high elliptical, crossbraced 21-cell what he is at the openings ? Jumps anyone the JFX with his wingsuit ? How are the openings ? Has maybe a line twist and his effect ? Evil spin with dive or furthermore suitable for wingsuit ? http://www.nzaerosports.com/canopies/daedalus-JFX

Thank you, nice vid

Hello everyone

I've short the lines now. Only 4 cm and the storm fly now very well :) The flare is now powerful and frontriser turns are no problem no deflections. And I'm not able to stall the storm as LouDiamond said.

Before you go shortening your brakes more than is recommended by PD, I suggest you spend a little time reading up on DZ.com here on how the Storm typically flies for an assortment of different people. I've jumped some of the first pre production Storms in different sizes, like you, I have not been able to get a Storm to completely stall or bow tie on itself. However, some people say they are able to do it and have photo proof of it. I cannot say if they have shortened the brakes excessively ,taken wraps or simply are able to do it with their specific canopy. What I can say is that the Storm is a canopy that flies and lands a bit different than most other canopies in that the sweet spot and the the actual shut down point are significantly deeper than what most people are accustomed to. People have to remember that this canopy started off as a CF canopy and as such, it can fly rock solid stable while in 3/4 to full brakes with no buffeting or bucking. Typically most people who jump the Storm the first several times have horrible landings and complain of no flare power or the inability to get lift from it at the bottom end of the flare. If you watch those same people land, what you will find is that they are not completing their flare all the way to begin with and they are failing to even reach the sweet spot where the canopy planes out before they touch the ground. The thing that peopple need to keep in mind when flying/demoing this canopy is that it is quite different from what they expect. First off, the recovery arch is VERY quick as it has a very flat glide which is fantastic if you're ever long. However, it does make setting up and turning onto final a bit challenging until you figure out the characteristics of the canopy. Second, the flare point is very deep or I should say deeper than most people are acustomed to. A majority of skydivers are in the habit of not following through with their flare all the way and it affects the way they land or in realistic terms,crash on landing. On the Storm the point where the canopy planes out to level flight is right around the 50% point or nipple level of the flare. To come to a complete stop the flare must be followed through all the way to full arms extension. The Storm has a tremendous amount of bottom end flare, if you know how to flare the canopy correctly. People may erroroneously think that it has no bottom end because they are expecting the canopy and their momentum to come to a stop when the canopy is actually in a plane out. Once people learn to finish their flare deeper than they are used to they will find that the Storm is capable of popping them back up in the air. The Storm is also very stable in deep brakes which means it can be sunk in, much like an accuracy canopy if the jumper chooses to do so. If you check out the PD blog, there are pictures of the Storm on landing and in deep brakes to give you an idea of how deep the flare point is. Pictures of the Storm in flight and on landing can be seen HERE, HERE and HERE The key things in the photos to look at is where the toggles are and the deflection of the tail in relation to them in the flare stroke. I have not seen your landings so I cannot say definitively what your specific issue is. However, having a lot of time under this canopy and having watched a lot of other people under this canopy, I think what I have posted is probably the issue you are dealing with and probably don't need to shorten your brake lines any more than PD recommends or if at all. The other thing to keep in mind is if you over shorten them now, while the lines are new, it may fly like you want it to, but over time the lines will get even shorter through use and you will have another set of problems to deal with later. Hopefully this gives you a bit more info to work with and helps you determine what is the best course of action for your specific situation. Hello thank you for the great info

Hello, I´ve made a canopy course. The first task was to find the stall point. So i can arch my body to maximum and pull the steering lines so deep i can behind me and the canopy can´t stall. At the next jump I should show when the steering lines are stretched. After that and looking my landings the instructor sad i should short them 8cm (3,15 inch) for landings without wind with no problems. In the manual of the storm i can find the notice don´t short them more than 5 cm (2 inch). What do you think are 8 cm okay ? http://www.performancedesigns.com/docs/StormCFStormFAQFlightCharacteristics.PDF Greets Lars

I've searching on the side from PD and Atair. If I understand correctly PD and Atair have the same measuring methode and a 150. sqft from Atair is the same size as my Storm 150 and in PIA size 160. sqft. Is that right ?

Hello, I've look at the side of Atair canopy and have a question about there size details. For example Size 135. sqft. in PIA spec. 145. sqft. Compared to my Storm 150 is that almost the same size or one smaller (135. sqft)? Greets Lars
