Hi everyone. Its been over a year since i've posted. I was away for awhile due to circumstances but I hope to come back to the sport shortly. Im looking for canopies for sale (used) i know there is a classified on this website but i cant find what im looking for. Can anyone give me some idea of other websites to look?
Thank you,
Frankie

Well I flew the canopy on march 4th.
It had been 1 month since my last jump so I don't know why but I was quite nervous.
Believe it or not my legs started shaking.... I was a bit scared.
I jumped out at 6000 and opened immediately. It was great I felt so much control while the canopy was opening. It was like I controlled the canopy and not the other way around.
Wow canopy open, beautiful ! Fast turns, but not as fast as expected.
Had a very nice landing but as crazy as it may sound my swoop was actually shorter and worse then on my sabre 150. Actually my landing even thou I stood it up looked (ugly) like the ones I used to have long time ago when I got my Sabre. Guess I have to learn again.

Still it flew great!! The toggle pressure was a little hard but not as bad as the sabre 1.

thanks!!!

Anyone here knows where I can find a quick study guide to use this adobe Premiere Pro 7.0. I just got it today and it´s bugging me.
I´m used to stupid easy stuff like MovieMaker and Movie Shaker. For this one I´m going to have to do some reading.
Any ideas or quick refrence guides??
Anything is usefull.

Derek did a few test jumps and showed that canopy size wasn't that big a deal. Even a reserve twice as large as a main flew OK together.

My bad then.
just buy anything then.

Consider a situation where both are out.
I beleive it´s good to have main and reserve arou the same size.

that's ridiculous!!
How stupid can one be to have to cut the pin!!!
Its enough that they opened it (U$40,00) they damaged the gear literally.

Looks to me to be MS Picture It

Well I'll never buy a canopy from you.

is it just me or is the website suspended??

This rain is ruining my days off (wednesday and thursday) To top it all off..... my knew canopy is due from UPS by tomorrow and I don't see me jumping it.

Weekdays you can bet on Deland. Weekends any dropzone has activity.
I will be around.

very funny

Please!!!
I need a pic of a 129 sq ft elliptical canopy in flight.
Crossfire would be best but just any will do.

Thanks!!!!

Does anyone have a pic of a 129 sq ft elliptic canopy they can post.
Preferbly the crossfire but any will be OK.

thanks,
Frankie

holy ..... great footage!!!

What was the idea?????

RAWA.
Looks greats and very protective.

Any tips or recomendations???

YES!!!
Finally!!!
Not what I actually was planning on getting (CROSSFIRE 129) but fair enough.
Planned on getting a Katana 120. But after almost going threw with the purchase, I figured the reviews where very intense especially for me with 310 jumps on square 150.
Still I can't wait!!
And yes I know the crossfire 129 is not less dangerous.
Next Wednesday I'll try it out.!!!!!

ANY ADVICE???????????????????????

Yeah... but I'm on the sunset load right know!!!

Well I have 1 container but 3 canopies.

1 cruiselite 220
1 sabre 150
1 crossfire 129 (on its way)

tell them to study physics.

I have to agree that the formula 1 is considered to me the best.

Yeah go over profiles at who's online for example and you will see many girls with small canopies but low wing loadings also.
But I would say someone flying a 99sq ft at .85 is much more dangerous then someone at 1.4 flying a 190 sq ft.
So that said my poll will not give us the answer I seek. I will try tomorrow to elaborate something that will work. If anyone has any ideas feel free. I'm about to leave work right know and have no time.
