here you go!!! Bus stop in Finland:

Wah lau, this is no chicken feed lah! Instructors better be world champions of singapore. Ah see, Chief instructor also team leader of the historical "white stars", the display team that black holed other teams from Australia, Malaysia, France and USA. This mama damn cartoon lor. Better look closer at their training: Kanina, so busy jump! Ooops, only 2 first lines relevant to the training. Sounds great: the subtle difference between docking and "picking up of grips". Me slow or what? WTF is different? I see: jump 1 cannot dock in time from a free exit at "1000ft guaranteed" unless king jame version ah. Much better, now, maybe you can fly the formation. Not serious about docking on jump 2 either. Dat's powderful training ah. 90/180/360 turns on creepers or what? Learning "90/180/360 turns within the formation" in 2 jumps from "10000ft guaranteed"... Cannot lah! Huh?!? Turning block or what? Yeah, two jumps enough. 4 points, 3 way, 2 beginners... good luck! Why so kiasu? Only 8 way after this wonderful training? Anyway, will never be world champion out of singapore with basic boxman RW training lah (i guess boxman because he never tells about new position). Not say i say what ah, but once more he will ali baba local skydivers with all fart and no shit. Go Genting for wind tunnel (vely cheap) and go Jakarta for basic training (still cheap). Next time you go australia, if you need b-rel, do it there (also cheap). If you really wannabe world champion, go Australia, Europe or USA. Cockroach #9683271

thank you for all the informations now I see a little bit clearer.. ____________________________________________ The Cobalt is a full ZP Elliptical canopy that has no/limited crossports in the 3rd and 6th cell on purpose similar to some BASE canopies. The no crossports are what give it its unique openings. ____________________________________________ Aha the Cobalt is a BASE canopy, no wonder why people complaining about the hard opening when they skydive with that canopy and deploy at ter. vel.. I have to admit that I haven't seen any elliptical 9cell BASE canopies. _______________________________________________ Fan club? Doubt that there is any more of a Cobalt fan club then a Sabre2 or Safire or Extreme clubs... Everyone likes their canopy and most people want everyone else to be flying what they chose as their canopy. _______________________________________________ I have the impression that people from other fanclubs are a little bit more sceptic about their canopies and don't take criticism personal. cockroach #514

Sorry but isn't the cobalt a F111/ZP canopy? There is also a guy in this forum always advertising this canopy and I think there is even a fan-club here. I just had a quick look at the canopy in Perris but on this one they even forgot to make holes in the 3rd and 6th cell... Strange I thought this canopies would be produced more carefully..... But if people buy this then it has to be good, right? cockroach #514

why you don't check the pin on your own? Just be a little bit flexible with your body. Do you always have to wake up the people in the aircraft to annoy them because you are too lazy do do it yourself? I would never do that..... cockroach #514

What about a Cobolt a nice canopy for "every" skill level, but with a wingloading from 1.2 until 4.5 (under 1.2 not recomended)!!!! There are a lot of specialists in this forum who fly this world best all-round canopy... cockroach #514

I wish that the atair community would be a little bit more "open minded", then it would make sense to discuss with them.... btw: are all the pond swoopers jumping cobolt's?

Well, if one of my subcontractors had this kind of attitude, i would talk to him... but not too long. Claiming that the contrail is a stiletto is terribly unfair to the contrail. It is much better than a stiletto (and much cheaper). If you manufacture it you should know that the contrail had lots of reengineering compared to the stiletto. In addition, the way you tell it is quite misleading: many people know that you used to produce a canopy sold under different names; hence with your wording it sounds like if the contrail was exactly a copy of a stiletto. Is it just me, or each of your post is almost the truth, but from a very special point of view?

so the cobalt is a better canopy than the contrail?????

Pack your own shit and fire them both!!!!!
