RTB 0 #1 July 28, 2003 Does anyone have any experience of putting a pocket slider on a VX? I'm considering doing this mod for a friend and wonder if there are any potential problems. She feels the canopy opens hard. She has also ordered a new larger slider which is on it's way. Thanks, René Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterrigger1 2 #2 July 28, 2003 Rene, Please give me the info on the canopy with the folllowing info: *New or used canopy *How many jumps *Size of canopy We have a domed slider that works well with harder opening canopies. We feel that the "pocket slider" is not quite the total answer, although they do work on some canopies Thanks, MELSkyworks Parachute Service, LLC www.Skyworksparachuteservice.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Treejumps 0 #3 July 28, 2003 I have over 100 jumps with a pocket on my VX 120. The openings are great, about half the time I get a crossfire like snivel, and the rest are perfectly accepable. My pocket is about 5" wide accross the length of the slider. I am a videographer and this is my primary main. Enjoy, Tree Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
