mujie96 0 #6 October 9, 2002 I'm downsizing soon but I'll still be at less than 1.0. I think a 150 will keep me entertained for quite a while. Jess Just keep swimming...just keep swimming.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkymonkeyONE 3 #10 October 9, 2002 Hmm. Maybe not, so I did answer the poll, just not reiterate my 2.23 and 2.4 wingloads. Oops! I just did it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #12 October 9, 2002 Geez, only 2.4? Pussy... j/k (I would most likely die a quick and violent death under those loadings...except I'd be doing that under a "big" canopy of about 114sq ft) --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

TALONSKY 0 #19 October 9, 2002 It sounds like you may not know that your Safire 169 is really closer to a PD Sabre 150. You can call Icarus yourself at (630) 562-2735. I had a Safire 169 and measured it up against a Sabre 150 and mine was a touch smaller. The reason for this is Icarus desided to measure differently than most companies on the Safire & Omega ( who knows why). Blue Skies Kirk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scoby 0 #23 October 9, 2002 They did change their method, though. Does anyone know what DOM Safires start the new sizing method? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanuckInUSA 0 #24 October 9, 2002 I'm poised to take possession of a Triathlon 220 (according to the FedEx website, my new rig is somewhere in the Denver area, but still not in my hands) and it'll be loaded at approximately 1.06:1. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TALONSKY 0 #25 October 9, 2002 It is my understanding that all Safire 1's are measured the funky way along with the original Omega's. As I understand it they change the way they measure them on the Safire 2's and the Omni. Kirk BTW mine was made in July of 2000 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
