I own a stiletto and 'lurrvve' turf surfing. In my opinion this is the sweetest flying machine ever assembled. It's a 79 and I load it at 2.6 lbs. Like most x braced canopies I found that bringing the canopy out of the dive closer to the ground only resulted in a shorter swoop and higher risk but when the canopy is allowed to to continue diving once it has totally flattened out you can get a MUCH longer surf higher in the control band. It even slows down ok on down winders, provided the winds aren't too out of control.
Toggle pressure is tight but super responsive.
In my opinion this is the sweetest flying machine ever assembled. It demands your constant attention and respect. Alan Binnebose Just got my new VX and put 8 jumps on it last weekend. Temps were in the low 70s and winds were 5-12mph most of the time. It took me 3 jumps to set the brakes where I was satisfied.
