Cobalt line set

Anyone have personal experience of jumps before new line set on a Cobalt. I really like the canopy, so I plan on getting a line set when needed instead of replacing it. Thanks.

I have 400 jumps on one. I'm going to get it relined if I still use it. My openings getting funky.

If lines hold thats just up to you how long you tolerate a canopy out of trim.

I will have to look at my jumps on this one, but it flies nice and still opens nice

My second Cobalt began to open a little slower than normal and seemed to be less responsive to inputs at about 700 jumps. It flew straight, but seemed to need more input to keep it flying straight and dive the way I wanted it to. Now that I’ve had it relined, it flies beautifully. The only problem I had with the new line set was that for my preferred flying technique, I felt like the brake lines were too long. I had the brake lines shortened 3 1/2 inches and the canopy flares and lands very well. I put 400 jumps on my first Cobalt, which was a 120. I’ve gotten great safe performance for over 600 jumps on my present Cobalt, which is a 150. When I replace my canopy again, I’d like to get another Cobalt.

I put 600 jumps on my cobalt and it only needed new brake lowers. I checked the trim against the chart printed on the website. When the time comes my riggers will whip up some lines with those same charts.

I have changed lines just two three weeks ago and done about 17th jumps so far.
The change of the openings is incredible. Very nice and soft. Flies also better and landings are also better. I sent it to Stane in Atair Slovenia. In Europe is expensive but worth to do at least in my case.

Before I changed lines my Cobalt opened 3 times extremely hard which I think was the line's problem.

If yours openings are fine and the canopy flies good there might not be a reason for relining.
For comparison try to jump on the same size somebodies cobalt and compare if they open and fly the same.
And that's how I knew I should change my lines:

PS
If I change canopy it will be a Cobalt or Radical one size smaller.

Back to Poland... back home.
