  2. I have an Infinity I-33 (bought new a few years ago) and it was ordered with a Pilot 150 in it (got the OK from Velocity Rigs). It was tight, but it worked. I've been jumping a Zulu 132 in it for awhile and it fits nice. (all standard ZP). I recently started wingsuiting and went back to putting the zp Pilot 150 in it, works just fine. I have also flown a Zulu 120 in the same container and it also fits fine. I was originally told by Velocity that the rig I ordered could fit a 117-150. Hope this helps!

  6. Straight from Aerodyne: Aerodyne Research, LLC The Zulu is a fully elliptical canopy which offers exceptional performance with harness input. This means you can execute beautiful 90 and even 180 degree turns using only harness input. It also means, if you are asymmetrically loading the harness because your wing suit is challenging you during opening, that you can spin the canopy up during a wing suit opening. We had a lot of the test jumps on the Zulu done by one of our most experienced wing suit jumpers, but we cannot really recommend it to any but the most experienced and talented wing suit flyers. You need to be able to fly your wing suit throughout the opening sequence with near perfect harness symmetry, and today's ultra high performance wing suits make this quite a challenge indeed. Aerodyne recommends the Pilot as a perfect canopy for wing suiting. It has great performance when highly loaded, but offers very forgiving openings. And for those who prefer a 7 cell, we've been testing a 7 cell Pilot which we hope to release in the third quarter of 2015.
