RyanOBrian 0 #1 October 22, 2007 I have a space 170 I've been jumping for about 20 jumps now. And I've had some beautiful soft openings and some that rock the hell outta me.... I hear the canopy is supposed to be a smooth opener. It's probobly me just fucking it up somehow in the packjob... but Does anyone know where I can find a copy of the maunal? It would be helpful to look up msome stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #2 October 22, 2007 The Space is a rebranded Cobalt. Look up Atair's website for info.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VectorBoy 0 #3 October 22, 2007 You mean the cobalt is a rebranded alfa or space. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #4 October 22, 2007 It was the Alpha from this company, then it was the Space, at some point it was a Contrail, then it was something else... Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billeisele 130 #6 October 22, 2007 i'm jumping a Space 150 loaded at 1.6 as mentioned above the website is a good start, but like most canopies pay close attention to the slider, it needs to be all the way up to the stops, and I can't remember what size pilot chute it has but it is smaller than most canopies, if you upsize then tie your shoes tightGive one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dbattman 0 #7 October 23, 2007 You may be tucking the slider into the canopy with the nose. Pull the front of it back out so it's quartered before you wrap the tail. It can't do it's job if it doesn't catch the air on the correct side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RyanOBrian 0 #8 October 24, 2007 I'm pro-packing it.. I flake it out as normal then shove the nose into the tail, and make sure I bring the slighter out nice and exposed then roll the tail... and I get the hard openings at terminal... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd push the nose in middle of the packjob,pull the slider in the front and roll the tail tight. Make sure the slider is against the stops before you close the d-bag.
