First off, I wanted to offer a sincere thanks to Rob and Kathy of Morpheus Technologies. They heard I'd been wanting to try some jumps on a bigger MDV Troll, and Rob loaned me his personal rig so I could get some jumps in under the Troll.

Despite my delays in getting the rig back to them, they were super-cool and it is a testament to their great attitude towards customers (and potential customers) that they'd go out of their way like this!

As to the Troll, I can honestly say that I found it to be equal in pressurization and glide ratio to any canopy I've jumped so far. In particular, I found slider-down pressurization to be really consistent and solid. I was very confident in the jump from low/dodgy objects locally, and had great on-heading performance.

Many other folks have raved about the Troll's flight characteristics, so I need not repeat that. With the new MDV valves, the glide on the canopy is really exceptional.

So, if you are in the market for a canopy, think about the Troll and drop a note to Rob and Kathy with any questions (morpheustech@earthlink.net).

Peace,
