Canuck 0 #1 February 22, 2002 Hey Chuck. In the swooping forum you made a comment about Cobalt 105's which led me to believe they perhaps don't open and/or fly as nicely as Cobalts of other sizes. Your quote was "Get a Cobalt...anything but a 105 and you will have butter openings, long swoops..." What's up with that?Canuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #2 February 24, 2002 Not sure why, but every single bitch I have heard of in the field has come from people with 105's snapping them. I can't say what the problem is, because I seriously don't know, I am not an engineer, only a factory pilot. Actually, every problem I have heard of was rectified with either a slider change or a slight trim change. Only that size. I have buddies who have never had a problem with that size, but others who have. That was the basis for my comment.My webpage HERE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff 0 #3 February 24, 2002 By 'snapping', you mean hard openings? I'm VERY interested because I have Cobalt 105, but I'm very happy with all aspects of it so far (only 25 jumps or so).thanksGeoff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #4 February 24, 2002 There you have it. A satisfied 105 owner! I certainly didn't mean to imply that all Cobalt 105's opened hard, it's just that is the only gripe I had heard in the last year on the road. I think it's a perfectly sized parachute for someone downsizing from any other brand's 135, but thats just my opinion. I just hated hearing from one of my best friends every day that the openings were killing him. Yes, I meant "hard". My webpage HERE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
