adrenalinejunki 0 #1 April 10, 2006 I jump a Sabre1 190 now. I have ordered a new Safire2 189 which should be here this week. How much faster will it be than my Sabre? I weigh 225 lbs without gear. __________________________________________________What's the worst that can happen? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GravityGirl 0 #2 April 10, 2006 I don't imagine it will be any faster. The flight charactoristics should be slightly different. And the control range will be noticible. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adrenalinejunki 0 #3 April 10, 2006 I kind of figured it would be a lil bit faster since they say that the Safire2 is a semi elliptical. I have never jumped anything other than my Sabre1 since student status. __________________________________________________What's the worst that can happen?

diablopilot 2 #4 April 10, 2006 The fact it's eliptical in any degree will not make the canopy fly faster through the air to any noticible amount. It will change the speed and ease of a turn for any given input.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

adrenalinejunki 0 #5 April 10, 2006 Thats good, I don't want to go any faster. I just want to not have to grit my teeth when I throw the PC... not knowing what I will get. __________________________________________________What's the worst that can happen?

GravityGirl 0 #6 April 10, 2006 You should be happy then. Make sure your do a good check up high to determine a proper flare. You MAY have to flare a bit deeper than you are used to. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diablopilot 2 #8 April 10, 2006 May? I think Safires need to be flared to your toes....---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
