<div dir="ltr">Alex, <br>When I was getting back into the sport I bought Lori's old Omega 149 and I put about 50-100 jumps on it. I was about 160-165 lbs. at the time. I really liked it for a 7 cell. Much faster than a Triathlon & flared better too. It would dive out of the sky & had a real nice swoop/flare. The Omega is a semi-elliptical 7 cell. Probably a lot like the old Diablo from Aerodyne.<br>
<br>Check on <a href="http://Dropzone.com" target="_blank">Dropzone.com</a>. There are quite a few independent opinions about the Omega. I also demo'ed a Safire 2 at 2013 Redemption. It is a very nice canopy as well. I think the Safire 2 is an all around better canopy than the Omega. I now have a Pilot 150 & I love it. I bought the standard ZP fabric. I'd talk to Lucky Chuck. He can get you a better deal than Icarus. FYI: Both Icarus & Aerodyne have demo programs.<br>
<br>Just my 2 cents...... hope this helps.<br>Mark Kolesik<br><br><br><div><hr>From: <a href="mailto:bhareck@gmail.com" target="_blank">bhareck@gmail.com</a><br>Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2014 14:33:33 -0600<br>To: <a href="mailto:members@skydivelspc.com" target="_blank">members@skydivelspc.com</a><br>
