captain_stan 0 #3 September 15, 2009 Quoteanyone have an ideaYeah, ask an experienced rigger to inspect it. He may find damage of which you and your friend are totally unaware. I see this on a regular basis. Quoteno known patches Yet! When you send out a canopy for reline, that rigger or mfr. may determine that it needs patching before it can be relined, and at an additional cost of course. BTW, as we speak I'm waiting for UPS to deliver a used Monarch 135 that I just bought. This is a similar canopy to the old Sabre. With an advertised 47 jumps on it, I expect it to look like new. The price I paid? $450. I don't see how the Sabre would have much more value even with fresh lines. That may give you an idea of the market for these older-generation canopies. There are still a few of us who like to have a quick-opening, highly stable, square ZP 9-cell available for certain jumps. And that Sabre may be a good fit in your progression to a smaller canopy. Please get some good advice on the suitibility of this choice. CS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
