freekflyguy 0 #15 September 22, 2003 Jonathan 150 loaded at 1.7 Nice soft openings, also have a Sabre 170 but dont use it for camera due to the odd rogue opening. Looking to go to a Spinetto 150/135, or maybe even a Katana, just as soon as I can get a 300 ft swoop from my Jonathan. BuzzIt's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

pcalandra 0 #16 September 22, 2003 Sabre 120 loaded from 1.33:1 to 1.5:1 depending on weights etc. I've had 99.9% soft and on heading openings, although I did get slammed so hard it ripped my helmet right off once! I got lucky and caught it though, you should see the video of my crotch ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ffejdraga 0 #17 September 23, 2003 Yep, Xaos 21 120 loaded at 2.2 I have two of these sweet opening canopies...sometimes a little wild, but never hard. Save the neck! jeff D-16906 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JGarcia 0 #21 October 2, 2003 Damn, I haven't posted in a long time! Here's my canopy situation: Primary rig, jumping a Velocity 90, loaded at 2.0:1. Second rig has Xaos-27 93. Both open GREAT, and love to fly and land them both. I used to jump my girlfriend's Spectre 135 before I got a second rig, until my neck couldn't handle the openings anymore. I know, I know, Spectre's are supposed to be the camera flyer's dream canopy. Well, there was something wrong with this Spectre: sent back to PD twice, relined, re-engineered. Never solved problem...although they termed openings as "acceptable." They were right, the openings were acceptable if you weren't jumping 2 top-mounted cameras and you didn't mind getting whiplash on openings. I love PD products, love my Velocity. Girlfriend gave up on the Spectre and bought a Vengeance 120. However, that particular Spectre, regardless of packing method or body position, was not right.

skydiver51 0 #22 October 3, 2003 I use an Omega 7 cell because of it's nice snivel. When packing I don't have to roll the nose or push it back in. I just let it hang. I also pull the center of the slider up to the gromets. All this to cut the snivels down to 500 ft. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fundgh 0 #23 May 11, 2004 Bump.... Will be considering video camera in a few jumps... What canopy would be better than my Sabre 150? I am thinking of going to a Sabre 2 150, would this be advisible? I don't get what I would call slammers on my Sabre, but I do get some brisk ones. What canopy, other than Sabre 2 would be recommended? I would like to go elliptical to some extent, is this OK?...FUN FOR ALL! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vdschoor 0 #25 May 11, 2004 I jump a Sabre2 150 loaded at 1.5. I get nice consistent openings on it. If you're on a Sabre right now, the Sabre2 would be a nice replacement, or the Spectre, depending on what you are looking for. Iwan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
