  1. JP, cheers for the confidence!! I remember a while back (1999/2000 ??), FireFly had a Flash program on their site that you used to choose a suit, and then color it up with whatever they had available. That was dead cool!! You picked your suit, spend an hour on various colors, and order it. I wouldn't mind seeing a few examples before I order ... that way I know I've covered all the homework before I throw down my cash. I'll keep asking around. Cheers for the help! Rgds, Jacques
  2. Hey there, Any of you guys/gals maybe have a web site showing a few examples of Matter's freefly suits? I'm about to order mine but getting the colors right is driving me nuts! Cheers, Jacques
  3. Good point; and I'm sure I'll like the Saber 2 a lot ;)
  4. Guys, Thanks for all the replies. I've recently won a 35% discount voucher on any PD canopy I buy ... so decided on a Saber2. I've got a total of 101 jumps, and the ZP EXE is a very nice canopy if you are on a tight budget. I just thought that there is a "secret rule of thumb" comparing a square with a semi eliptical of the same size. Meaning, if you jump a 155 sq, you need to jump a 170 semi ... someting like that. Cheers, Jacques
  5. Hi there, I need some advise here, please. I currently jump a ZP EXE 155 square (SA make) and have about 70 jumps on it. Wingload is about 1.4, and I weigh about 198, exit weight about 220. Landing it is no problem; it is a nice canopy. I'm on my way to buy a Saber2, but looking at the load charts on PDs website, a Saber2 150 is not for me. Are these charts 100% correct? Or am I making a big mistake going down to a semi the same size as my square? Thanks in advance. Regards, Jacques
