christianesp 0 #1 July 31, 2002 Greetings. I just got a Sabre 2 230 and it takes me forever to get it in the damn bag (Javelin J4/J5 bag). Also, is it possible to have the closing loop too tight? Mine seems really tight and I'm affraid that the pilot chute may not pull out the closing pin. Any advice much appreciated. X Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #2 July 31, 2002 If you can close the rig without using any leverage devices... odds are its not too tight yet. I've had some ugly and tight pack jobs with CRW and they all open just fine.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christianesp 0 #3 July 31, 2002 I can close it without any leverage devices, but it's really hard and I feel like the pull up cord is going to cut into my hands -- no, I'm not a wuss either. I'll be sure to ask some people in person to look at it before I jump it again. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fasterfaller 0 #4 July 31, 2002 Once you have the main in the bag and all the lines stowed and the bag in the container , kneel or sit on it to force more air out before closing . After kneeling or sitting out it close it quickly before it has a chance to expand . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hooknswoop 19 #5 August 1, 2002 What reserve do you have? Do have a Cypres? Is your container a J4 or J5? Or is it a J4 with a J5 bag? The J4 is sized for a PD 176, Raven II, Tempo 210, or DM 218, and 190 or a tight 210 ZP main. The J5 is sized for a PD 193, Pd 218, Raven III, or DM 249, and up to 230 ZP main.

PhreeZone 20 #6 August 1, 2002 His profile shows a PD 218 Reserve so I'd guess its a J5... if its a J4 I'd hate to be his rigger...Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has a Safire 189 main, but it used to have a Star Trac 265 main in it. Hook Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites christianesp 0 #8 August 1, 2002 It's a J5 container. The bag says J4/J5. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Hooknswoop 19 #9 August 1, 2002 Sounds like your closing loop may be a bit too short. Have a rigger take a look.
