slotperfect 7 #1 April 7, 2002 I am about to start jumping a Sigma Tandem Rig with a Sigma 370 tandem canopy in it. I know a lot about the Sigma Rig, but know ZERO about the Sigma 370 canopy. Has anybody been jumping one? Is anybody familiar enough with it to give me the scoop? Thanks!Respectfully,SP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
axe96bam 0 #2 April 7, 2002 I have jumped the sigma 370 on my last 8 tandems. Here is what I saw. It opens nice and soft. Toggle pressure is very light. It turns like a sport canopy and if you pull the toggle down all the way you will swing out, get pinned in the harness and look down at teh canopy. It has a lot of glide and lift. I am short so I have been flaring it a little higher (depending on how tall the person in front was). it will give you a nice long swoop and than it will stop so you can step down. I think the most important thing on landing is not to let you student touch the ground before the canopy is stopped. I am sure you will love it.Alex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkymonkeyONE 4 #4 April 8, 2002 John, it was very nice seeing you on the dropzone again this weekend; also nice seeing you posting again after such a long hiatus!The Sigma main is very nice. Less toggle pressure than an EZ, much like an Icarus or Cobalt tandem main. I am sure you will love it.ChuckMy webpage HERE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slotperfect 7 #7 April 8, 2002 Thanks, Chuck. It WAS great to be back. You will see me again soon. Life is all about balance for me these days, and I get enough jumps at work to keep me happy. This year I get to branch out a bit though . . . I am looking forward to tandems in the "REAL" world ;) Save me a shicken sammich.Respectfully,SP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slotperfect 7 #9 April 23, 2002 Two jumps on the Sigma 370 today - what a sweet canopy! I had a friend of mine ride on the front with me for a couple of "training" jumps, which went beautifully. I will take my wife up this weekend and let her enjoy it!Respectfully,SP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
