Opie 0 #1 February 11, 2002 From the swooping & canopy control board"PD also says Sabres don't open hard........"Thanks for the laugh DerekOpieIf your not on the edge, you can't enjoy the view! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveMonkey 0 #2 February 11, 2002 The slowest openening I've ever had has been on a Sabre 210 - flat packed as well !! 800 foot. You shouldn't put a knife in the toaster - but you're an adult now !!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
homer 0 #3 February 12, 2002 Maybe you should check your altimeter more often and you wont open so low.pissing in freefall is only going to make the person above you mad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites SkydiveMonkey 0 #4 February 12, 2002 I always pull at 3500 bang on, and my protrack read open at 2700. No P/c hesitation etc. Just massive snivel. You shouldn't put a knife in the toaster - but you're an adult now !!!

PD is a top notch canopy company, but for them to say the sabre isn't known for it's hard openings is at best-- Entertaining.For any of the newer jumpers, we're speaking on the original and not the new sabre 2 canopies.OpieIf your not on the edge, you can't enjoy the view!

Thats from the time I let go of the P/C. It usually opens in about 400-500. It was very nice.....Now if I can just learn to Pro pack that well I'll be OK.
