Yeah, like the most novice skydivers in Finland, my very first main is Sabre 150. DOM January 1991, so this one is a classic. Many people have been complaining that Sabre openings are hard, but haven't really had one that hard during my 70 jumps with the canopy. Usually it opens on-heading and quite often end-cells are closed. Few pulls from rear risers and it flies beautifully! For a novice like me, it's easy enough to land safely and I've been packing it like I packed the Student Navigators, having no problems at all with the openings. When I deploy, it takes about 200 meters for it to open fully, which is just fine for me. Quick enough, but not too quick. I'm very happy with my Sabre, got it with very reasonable price (300 euros) and I'm planning to have it at least till next Spring. Then I might give Sabre2 a try, but till then, I'll fly my beautiful, trusted and pink colored Sabre! =)
