Hey all, so long story short:
- I’m about a year off and saving for a plate armor set, cuirass the whole 9 yards as I’d love something actually fit for me

- I love the variety and options from age of craft, and everywhere else has honestly been disappointing

1. I know aoc has long wait times, but is it worth the price and weight? Are they pretty on point with fitment?

2. the big main question: before I go drop 6-7k on an order, any us based companies with good late 14th/early 15th century options worth it?

I’m not trying to go off topic and have swaying opinions, I’m set in my decision. I just want to do the “boy once, cry once” with something quality. Because I want a curiass with everything, I’m very paranoid about going with a shitty or meh companies.

Not looking for advice on league requirements or anything like that, I just want to know if there are any US based companies or if AOC is solid.

Ty, chaps 🤘

I’m going to preface this with I’m only looking for pilot feedback and platform differences, not instructor or coach level progression advice.

So since I last made a post, ended up with a spectre 230 and I’m very much a 7-cell fanboy.

This is relative to storm and spectre. No interest in pilot 7, wake me up if fluid wings does an nx7.

I intend on staying on one down to 190. Instructors have beat into my head don’t downsize unless you have a reason/are being held back by current.

So here’s the scenario:
- been looking at canopies like the storm
- I go to a spectre 190, get bored of it over time or want to fly faster/have more response

Should I be thinking of downsizing, or stick to that wing loading and try something more active like a storm?

Just wanted to hear if someone has flown both:

like how MUCH more steep was the storm trimmed?
What difference in decent fps you saw?
Does it glide decent from a long spot on the rears?
How did opening/stall recovery/harness input compare?

My heart says stick to spectre, but wanted to hear opinions.
