Recommended Posts

I have been considering buying a Sabre 2. I currently fly a Sabre. I know the two are not even the same canopy, but how different are the flight chracteristics?

I was renting student gear while waiting on my 135 Sabre 2........I was jumping a Sabre 150.........which was pretty easy for me to land ......I load my Sabre 2 at .9 . I was probly loading the sabre 150 @ around........ .8 or .7.
I can tell you that I do see a difference in the opening ...it is smooth......As far as landing...there is alot of glide(the turns are more responsive)......I can not really compare my 135 to the 150 because most of the differences for me are due to my higher wing loading.......I do move through the air faster and I come down at a little faster descent rate...
So the opening is the thing I REALLY noticed the most that set the Sabre and the Sabre 2 apart....but Im sure this is different for every one......Overall I LOVE IT........:)
