    I've never seen one jumped in Sweden, so perhaps nobody has noticed the error?



    Well, this is exactly what I am trying to find out, so I would appriciate more comments from instructors and riggers and ofcourse the manufacture before "starting a larm".

    Here are some facts on Spectre and Safire which are not classified as HP in Sweden:

    Item: Safire
    Manufacturer: Icarus Canopies
    Purpose: Main
    Shape Elliptical
    Cells 9
    Fabric: ZP

    Item: Spectre
    Manufacturer: Performance Designs
    Purpose: Main
    Shape Elliptical
    Cells 7
    Fabric: ZP



  2. Well, this is all about classification of Hornet in Sweden. In the description of this canopy is written "semi-elliptical" as well as Spectre by PD. The Hornet has a lightly elliptical shape but I doubt it can be considered like High Performance despite of the loading.
    Thus highly loaded Spectre should be considered as High Performance too.

    Could any matured rigger come with the opinion?

    Anyway I am waiting for official info from Aerodyne.

  3. I need some opinion about Hornet 210sqft as main canopy for the beginner with around 30 jumps.
    I have been flying this canopy as a beginner for a couple of years ago and now was going to recommend it to the other beginner. I showed many reviews on that canopy at dropzone.com but suddenly he got a call from our dropzone rigger who said that Hornet is classified like high performance canopy in Sweden and the beginners are not allowed to fly Hornet here.

    I am deeply astonished and would appreciate any reviews on this subject. I posted it to Aerodyne support as well, but just can´t wait :)

  10. I think i already wrote about it. I can't send mails to some of my friends because " Client host [64.69.64.20] blocked using bl.spamcop.net"

    Below the reply message that I got:

    Hi. This is the qmail-send program at stoic.nmsrv.com.
    I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.

    I am not a spamer:(

  15. Hejsan!
    Has anybody jumped new Sabre2 by PD? Please tell you opinion about this canopy. I am jumping Spectre 135 and now want to change it for more fun, but still afraid of elleptic types.
    Is it a good deal to change Spectre for Sabre2 or not?
    I am searching for soft openings, because once I was badly hited by a bad opening and after that soft deployments are the majour requirement for me.
