  3. Actually, the performance change in this rig is to reduce performance. The 135 is coming out, and a bigger (hopefully 170) 7 cell is going in. I will probably not be jumping it very much. It's more of a "loaner rig". I like my 135, and my 150, but will not loan it out to some of the less experienced jumpers I may be jumping with. Hell, I'm now even considering "F111" for the 7 cell. I'd still prefer the ZP though. I know how my 135 and 150 Sabres fit in there, and how much room was left over. By crunching numbers, I'm trying to compare numbers brought forth by one group. Preferably this group has numbers on my canopys, the ones I already know fit. I can then compare these numbers to other canopys I would like to put in there. See, this way, I'm using a set of numbers from one source. the measurements from one source for all the pack volumes will be much more reliable than, say, going to each manuf's website and looking up individual pack volumes.

  4. Yep, RWS has been helpful. I don't really have time to demo any canopys right now. I know my 135 fits really loose. I just put my Sabre 150 in it, and it's a perfect fit. I see I can get a 170 in there, but it's gonna be, um, snug. That's why I'm going through these pack volume charts. To see what the smallest measured pack volume for a 7 cell 170 is, across the mauf. lines. It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1
  5. Bingo! I was looking in the left hand control pane before. I didn't think to actually look in the text area! http://para-gear.com/canopyspecs/canopysizing.PDF Thanks! Also, I got this response back. Wow, nice, quick replies! OK, so I'll look closer at the Vector III for my next rig. It's your life, live it!

  6. I looked, and couldn't find the link there. I did finally do a search and found this http://www.noexcusesrigging.com/TechInfo/VolumeChartMain.htm. It helps, alot. Does anyone know of a list a bit more current though? It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

  8. I *think* so too. I'm going to try and stuff my Sabre 150 in there this week, and see how much room is left. Do some 7 cells pack a bit smaller? I'm actually trying to aim for a 170 sq ft 7 cell ZP. If I gotta wrestle with it, that's ok. I saw a canopy pack volume chart on a web site (PIA maybe?) that showed the variations in actual pack volume on mains. If I can check that link, I can compare what's in there now, what I'm trying to fit in there, and what is close to that size in volume. Yea, I know I could probably fit an F111 7 cell in there, but I really hope to be able to cram a ZP of the same size in..... It's your life, live it!

  9. Hey all! I'm going to send this question to the Relative Workshop too, but I thought I might be able to get a quick answer here.... I have an older Vector II V1-2. I've got a 145 Cricket reserve in it, and a Sabre 135 as a main. I'm keeping the 135 for a second main in my Javelin J1, and sending it to PD for a re-line and to have a panel or 2 replaced. I'm trying to find out what the main tray maximum pack volume is. The 135 fit's pretty loose, and the closing loop is really short. I'm trying to figure out what the maximum size main I can put in it is. I'm eyeing a couple of 7 cells, and maybe a 9 or 2, but I really need the pack volume before I commit to it. Any help on this one? A link to the info would be really helpful, as I couln't find it on their website, and I don't have the original manual. It's your life, live it!

    Wierd. I guees it's all in a persons perspective. A friend of mine in school was Dana, and she insisted it was pronounced with the short a, while my ex (the mother of my eldest son) is also Dana, and she insists it is pronounced with a long A.

  21. Singer. Basically an industrial model. My sis gets these deals all the time. It was an over run of school stock (the box even says "School Model" on the sides). Brand new, un-used, HD model for less than a brand new home model in the store. Hell, I didn't even get the price quote from her yet and said I'll take one. I'll try and get ahold of her this weekend and see if there is any more left, and an exact price.... It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1
  22. The "school models" are awsome! High quality, heavy duty, damn good, and pretty big too. Remember, they are built to stand up to school abuse! edit-of course I'll have to do it there, he's gotta make sure I'm not gonna kill myself or something! I am getting the machine so i ain't gotta get one in the future. I have sewed all my life, so this is just the next step. It's your life, live it!

  24. LMAO, since I don't own a CYPRES, and will just be packing my own for right now, the CYPRES kit can wait. Big purchase in the next week is the "School model" sewing machine.....
