Sabre2 / Spectre On Dacron Lines

[sneaky 0]

Anybody have these canopy`s set up with Dacrons ? Let me know what you think ?? Or if you have experience with selling this ?

Sure, I've sold them like this, but why do you want one? The pack volume is much higher, and the openings are not bad on these canopies when properly lined with microline provided you keep them in trim.

You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

i've never jumped one like this, but i have seen a few, one that comes to mind in tony hathaway's spectre has dacron line, and his seams to fly great.

Tony puts dacron on his because it opens much softer. With the amount of stuff he puts on his head, he wants nice soft openings.

Supposedly it doesn't slow the openings down any, it just absorbs a lot of the opening shock. My girlfriend "lauras" switched hers to dacron as well after putting a few jumps on Tony's. She recently had neck surgery and wants to make sure they open softly. She describes the openings as jumping into a sofa.

-OK

Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana

Not for me ,they will be used as demo rigs for the DZ... my idea is to get better life out of the linesets ..but I havn`t heard of anyone doing this setup...

Thanks anyway

For a more forgiving recreational CReW canopy,in the case of the spectre, that will also not be limited to only CReW use. That configuration won't kill you if you take it to terminal for whatever reason. It will be a good multi-use canopy for many things. Bird-man, photo work, CReW specific photo work, Recreational CReW practice, 2 and 3 ways. I know a small number of people who will be doing this to spectres on the next reline for these reasons.The big one is not doing fun CReW on spectre line.

Although it won't work well competion CReW or demanding CReW practice.
