Re: [JaapSuter] Rockdragon Jumpers
I recently took possesion of my 2nd BASE rig and in it, I've got a Rock Dragon 303 (with vents and valves) plus it's my understanding (according to Jimmy) that I am the first customer out there with the 5th control line making me a test pilot. But I've held off posting comments as I've only made 2 jumps on it (one in which I was forced to land with my rear risers). So I don't know if I have anything of real value to add except to say that so far the Rock Dragon has lived up to every expectation I have of it (it flew nicely and was a wonderful thing to pack). I can't wait for my container to come back from Moab (it needed some adjustments) so that I could put even more jumps on the Rock Dragon. Cool

Re: [] Rockdragon Jumpers
I have 9 base jumps and 12 skydives on my Rockdragon and I love it. Then again, I don't have enough canopy experience to come up with useful comparisons.

I posted this message because I wanted to find out what other people have done to their brake-settings and steering-line length.

Thanks,

Jaap

I find it is really important to make sure your parachute has a good moral compass with vents.
