Mirage 9 weeks or sooner Jav 36 weeks or more tough call

Congrats

It is still there my buddy does tandems

I rode the 143 and its just like a main. even saw someone swoop one (not advised)

Id go Mirage shortest wait time killer customer service. jav is a min 36 week wait (no shit) the others are around 16 weeks give or take. All are good solid rigs just depends on the small things you want. IMO dont flame! its my opinion only Mirage favorite Jav just as nice will never order to long of a wait Infinity growing on me Vector felt like a brick Wings best bang for buck Blues

I just ordered one thanks to great input from andrea and jarno. And i trust the suggestions they provided 100 percent. +1 for the shadow

sweet thanks! and i was on that load as well. send me a PM whith who you are so I can ask questions in person

Can someone provide me with a good suggestion for a fisheye lens for this model. Im not a guru just a weekend warrior looking to upgrade a little. please also specify details on your suggestion. Thanks

I had just over 300 jumps and 5 hours in tunnel of various disciplines. Glad I had every second under my belt. Listen to the warnings of the people in here and do not rush skydiving is like kung fu some of it will take years to master and it goes in steps, babysteps

Thanks Jarno for the info on the shadow thats sounds like more my speed with the hands free for docs and what nots and the leg wing for keeping up for a fast flock. WIN WIN.

Phoenix fly makes the shadow?

I am 6 foot 160 skinny build. Looking for all around flying. The dz is mostly a flocking crowd unless its winter then it everything imaginable.

For thos of you that have flown both of the current versions of each please explain why one favors you over the other, or it doesnt make that much of a difference. I have the option to buy one or both and just looking for feedback from the field or air as you will. Thanks for your time

thanks again Scott I am looking forward to progressing in this part of the sport. Nylon crack here I come!

PM sent with an easy fix

Awesome advise thanks a million i demo'd a xfire2 at 1.4 and could tell it wanted to be loaded more. Guess ill keep rocking the safire2 til i can load it more.

I notices on NZ aerosports the wingloading range for a safire 2 is 0.75 up to 1.9 what would be the sweetspot as far as wingloading. I know after that point a switch to a crossfire2 would be ideal. Any thoughts would be great.

I have the option to run off the card, as well as off the hard drive. thanks for the info

Has anyone used this camera succesfully without it shutting off just prior to exit? I have turned off every option available and it shuts off as soon as it hits wind. Or has anyone any suggestions on modifications to help make this work?

I bought a used wings container as my first rig off student status and the comfort factor is outstanding. Granted many containers have the same options and very little differences can be found this still stands out of the crowd when sitting by other rigs. The customer service was outstanding when I needed some adjustments to be made. Now if I am sitting for a load, sitting on a load, or under canopy this rig is comfort front start to finish. I would recomend this to any and all. Great job Wings

This is my first main off of student status and have only used 2 other mains to date. After reading all the reviews about the sabre2 I was hesitant to purchase one but found a steal on one so I did. In no way am I dissapointed now that the biggest complaint is a simple fix. The openings are nice and soft and if you just roll the tail they will be a little quicker but just as soft. But on every opening I have end cell closures partially due to the light wingloading (.90) but with a light constant pull of the rear risers they fill right up and your off for the rest of your skydive. turns are moderate but if you load up it will spin you for sure and toss you into the harness for some real fun. I generally land in little or no wind so I get more than usual glide on the landing but it has plenty of flare to make the landings either short or ride them for a short distance if you want to. Overall enjoyable main but next step down I will be trying a safire 2.
