crotalus01 0 #1 February 16, 2007 Saw an add in Parachutist, just curious as to how it worked. I would welcome pretty much anything that would slow down my Sabre's openings without a significant upswing in malfunction percentages... think it was www.OpenSofter.com Experiences anyone? As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewGuy2005 53 #2 February 16, 2007 I had a similar problem with my PD 9 cell 230. Tried all the tricks in the book, with no effect. I measured my slider and called PD. They said it was too small and sent me a new one for free. Problem solved. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

councilman24 37 #4 February 16, 2007 Forget it. As best I can tell the website hasn't been updated since the end of 2004. It still promotes the unveiling at the 2005, yes 2005, PIA symposium. The presentation there was a joke. Most people got up and walked out after a few minutes. He must of bought several years worth of adds at once. That's the only reason I can think of that the ads still run. It was a slider shaped piece of material that was supposed to hook to your connector links and act like a brake to slow you down during deployment. I don't know that ANYONE ever jumped one besides the inventor.I'm old for my age. Terry Urban D-8631 FAA DPRE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are refering to an original PD Sabre (not Sabre 2) you might want to start here: http://www.pcprg.com/hardop.htm Some of the responses you have gotten so far are just astounding. I was just saying to myself a while back that it seems like it it fortunately now common knowledge about how to change a Sabre's opening characteristics for the better, but apparantly not.
