Today we went up for a hop n pop, we were at about 3000 feet. I was the first out the door, I exited, pitched, and the relative wind of the propeller wrapped my main pilot chute down and under me! So I have a pilot chute in tow malfunction at 2500 burning altitude pretty quickly. So I went for my reserve, it opened beautifully, fast, not a slammer and on heading! Can't beat that!

To add on top of this, this was the first reserve I had packed as a new certificated rigger. So I saved my own bacon with my pack job. That makes me feel good to know my work, actually works! Get to buy my self a bottle!

This was my second time looking up at a PD reserve, it is a solid canopy, flew real well, I PLFed it on landing, but I couldn't ask for anything more.

When future customers bring a PD reserve for a repack, I can tell them, I will happy to work on it and it is a solid canopy!

Blue Skies!

I have a Sabre 210 that is my first canopy. I like it. Being used to student rigs and rental gear, this has so far offered me a downsize from the 285 student gear to the 210. It gives me some nice performance, its easy to pack (for me) controls are sensitive but not too much for a low time jumper such as my self.

I read so much about the hard openings, my first jump on the canopy spanked the living day lights out of me, like a reserve pull. I read about the new slider from PD, it is rather large, that with a few tricks I learned about pro packing I have not had a problem yet. I look forward to wearing this canopy out.
