Kimblair13 0 #1 July 25, 2005 So, I'm about to get a competition cobalt 95. Wondering if anyone that's jumped one can tell me what they think. Openings, flare. What other canopies it's similar to, stuff like that. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My canopy now is similar to a cobalt. (So, I've been told). I want a canopy similar to it. I don't know how the comp cobalt flies. The guy I'm buying it from is giving me 10 days to make sure I'll like it. Good weekend. I jumped with a news reporter and it was on the news at 6:30. Next door I guess had a girl land a round reserve and she broke her ankle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voidlizard 0 #4 July 25, 2005 I jump CC105, WL about 1.8 Opening are good, flare is perfect, flies fine. For me, it's similar to C120, but flies faster, dives deeper and more funny. There were no any hard openings at all. Every opening was very soft and 2-stage, as promised, regardless of packing - but it's more sensible to body position during deployment than my previous Cobalt 120. There were some problems with turning after deployment - sometimes it did 45 - 360 turns after deployment - but it's seems that it was because of my movements after 1st stage. Now I have fixed body position and do some packing tricks - and there are no turns for some jumps... Hopefully this issue is fixed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumperconway 0 #7 July 27, 2005 I demo'd a CC 95 and after a couple of nice openings it was spanking the crap out of me on 2/3 openings. Got worse at sub terminal, prefers a tracking deplyment. Hit me harder than any Sabre ever did. Flew fine but stalled easily loaded just under 2/1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
