Vented Seven
Id been thinking about this project for a long time. The seven is very similar to what the ace was/is, a great all around canopy, but not ideal for the very low freefall and static line jumps I often do (200 foot and under freefall, 150 and under SL). Thus far I have noticed no appreciable difference in flight characteristic or flare, and the canopy exhibits all the characteristics youd expect with the addition of vents. Not sure when Marty will offer this as a factory option, but its on the drawing board. Work on this canopy was done by Nick Burden out of colorado. https://vimeo.com/68256115
