- Since I had to cutaway my Excalibur because of line twist (on
- opening), I'm quite fearful of putting my canopy into anywhere close
- to that kind of situation. Quite a few people enjoy the radical stall
- turns, but for me, it's no no. I fly quite conservative up in the
- air. Only reason I spiral down is so that I can get away from crowd
- and get wide air space for a good hard hookturn :-)
