A free, brand new custom Sabre2 170 is being shipped to me tomorrow and I can't jump it for at least a month! :(



I get the impression you're after sympathy... No way! free custom canopy, grumble grumble... :P

Cheers,

Dave :)

Dude, when you get on a x-brace 120 you're going to get some major distance.

My calcs show 120 @ 2.35 - heh



That's basically the right wingloading on a 120. The major trick is I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to go to here in a few more months (or longer if it takes longer to get to that skill level) for a 135 for a stepping stone canopy. Something to put atleast a few hundred jumps on to work on the skills needed to get to a 120 X-braced.

Well, who knows - maybe the KA 135 will be out by then. If so, that's by far the best step if you're planning on going with a velo eventually. Otherwise I think the XF2 will do nicely in the smaller size but will be loaded up pretty high.

Those were my thoughts as well as some other really experienced canopy pilots I've talked to. I'll start demoing when I feel like I'm ready, which isn't yet, I still have stuff to work on with what I'm jumping right now.

canopy? :D:D

Do you have the super huge ginormous tandem canopy like me or do you have the super scary bed sheet canopy.

I have a 235, wing load is .89. I know, I know, I'm downsizing to quickly:D:D



Spectre 170 @ 1.14....

douche.

:D
Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.
