Deleted 0 #26 September 4, 2002 QuoteI'm too lazy to look it up on wreak, but didn't you recently post something about tearing up Don Jardines jumpsuit? Sorry if I am thinking about someone else but I'm pretty sure it was you. If it is, how did you come to tear his jumpsuit up? Was it landing your 1.4 loaded parachute? Yep, that was me. It was the result of my first 4 way tube, some high G forces, and, by his own admission, a jumpsuit that was on it's last leg anyway. He was wearing it, not me, and it torn just from taking grips.

JFC3 0 #27 September 4, 2002 Sorry but I had to reply to correct this information. This is the wing loading information for the Sabre2: Nov Int Adv Exp Max 135 115 128 135 176 216 150 135 150 165 195 240 170 153 170 187 221 255 190 171 190 209 228 266 210 189 210 231 252 273 Now if you also look at the Stilleto you will notice the weights are higher but after asking PD they said that not only are the weights posted for the structure of the canopy but also the expected canopy experience of the buyer. In other words they expect a less experienced or more conservative pilot to buy the Sabre2 than the Stilleto. Just food for thought. "Five days? But I'm angry now!"

skybytch 259 #28 September 4, 2002 QuoteSorry but I had to reply to correct this information. This is the wing loading information for the Sabre2: Jim doesn't have a Sabre2, he has an original Sabre. I posted the info that PD has up for the original Sabre. The original Sabre and the Sabre2 are different canopies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JFC3 0 #29 September 4, 2002 I know I read that more carefully after I posted. Don't worry. I always carry some extra mustard for my foot. Makes it taste better. "Five days? But I'm angry now!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jsaxton 0 #32 April 22, 2005 uh, wouldn't he be landing his RESERVE in that little clear spot after a cutaway??? Quote... just because you can land with a napkin over your head in normal conditions dose not mean you can make a safe landing in a tight area after a cut away.... the small canopys make for cool looking swoops but when shit gose wrong i want to KNOW that i can hit that little clear spot after i cut away and it's the only spot i could make it to...
