gobbi 0 #26 May 24, 2004 > I don't know what canopy he's going for now... He was giving advice to someone on the french forum asking about the sabre2, telling him to get a silhouette OR a stiletto. That's strange. Isn't the sabre2 somewhere between the silhouette and the stiletto in overall performance? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piisfish 135 #27 May 24, 2004 AFAIK it is between the two and all 3 canopies are radically different... besides they are 9 cells...scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diablopilot 2 #28 May 24, 2004 QuoteAtair suggests the cobalt loaded at 1.2-1.4 for beginner skydivers (go to www.extremefly.com FAQ for more accurate info on this). And assinine blanket statments like that have recieved the respect from the industry that they deserve. Little to none.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheMonkey 0 #29 May 24, 2004 QuoteI am learning HP landing myself and I will always be glad to share what I know and what works for me with other people. If you feel I don' t have the necessary credentials, ignore me. so being as you are a student to high performance landings, what makes you think you have the "credentials" to be dispensing knowledge regarding hp landings and hp canopies? most people on here that have been clubbing you know that you have no clue as to what you are talking about, and are ignoring you...the problem is people that don't know any better and take information that they read and use it as gospel (much like you did, regurgitating knowledge you have read online, admittedly not having the practical knowledge)....personally I would much rather get advice about hp landings from someone who has done them rather than someone who has read about them... --------------------- Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience!

diablopilot 2 #32 May 24, 2004 QuoteA PhD degree in fluid mechanics. Which pretty much means nothing. I know several people who are more than qualified to say design an airplane, but in no way should they attempt to teach someone how to fly it. If you want to give advice, hang around the sport a while and get two things that might then qualify you to teach. Experience, and an instructors rating.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ianmdrennan 2 #33 May 24, 2004 QuoteA PhD degree in fluid mechanics. Sorry but while you surely can explain the physics of the theoretical knowledge better than most of us, it hardly qualifies you to be dishing out advice on HP landings and canopies. There is little substitute for experience in these cases (not jump #'s but # of HP landings). EDIT: Dammit JP you beat me to it.
