Great article Bryan - thank you. Setting aside the learning points and rights and wrongs, I was pleasantly surprised by the honesty and candour of the upper/faster pilot in immediately coming up to manifest, offering up his video, and working to identify what could be learnt going forwards.

A slick operation with the introduction of Burble manifesting and an up-engined Caravan (one of three). Great CCI who is clearly passionate about the sport, and safety focused but in a refreshingly realistic way. Super hanger for packing with large mats. Friendly instructors. A nice mix of jumpers.

My first canopy after using rental kit. 140 jumps. After getting used to the long range required for full toggle input I realised how responsive and fun this canopy is. Great landings. Powerful flare. Can stay up a long time in full brakes. Often criticised for off heading openings but after investing the time to work out why I found out that this was all down (in my case) to poor body position upon opening. Since correcting this I now open on heading without an issue. My next canopy will be another Sabre2 (but a little smaller). Current WL 1.1 on the 190.
