I would compare it to a Stiletto or Jedei. You need to steer the canopy during this stage of the deployment with gentle pressure from your legs into the leg straps. The canopy is very responsive and fast. It handles very much like any other highly loaded ellipticle canopy. Aggressive front risering is easy and results in a long, steep dive.
Speed builds very quickly as does the front riser pressure.
The recovery arc is very long, you need to be high for an aggressive landing approach. The flare begins fairly deep into the stroke, but once you are into it, it is very strong. Landings are a pleasure and the surf seems to go on and on. These canopies are blast to fly, but are not for the timid. One final note, they really do pack up big.
