Blahr 0 #1 August 1, 2003 I've been looking all over the place trying to find a picture of a sabre2 that shows the nose clearly. Anyone have anything like that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gus 1 #4 August 4, 2003 Is the Sabre2 the only canopy with those stiffeners on the nose? I'd never seen them before I got mine. Do they really make a difference? GusOutpatientsOnline.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TEB6363 0 #5 August 4, 2003 I don't know if it is the stiffeners. But the Sabre2 opens great and turns faster than my previous "square" canopy. It feels like a great all-purpose canopy.. Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure but I'll echo those who say 'whatever it is, the canopy is Grrreat!' ! the nose openings are MUCH smaller than most 9 cells I've seen and I suspect this plays a roll in the snivelly openings AND the strong bottom end flare they have .... - their brake setting is 'very slow' or so it seems because when you pop the brakes the wind noise amplifies exponentially...not something I witnessed on larger SAbre 1's. Toggle turns seems faster than rear risers, bottom end flare is amazing .... given the nose looks 'different' perhaps it's not so much the stiffener its self but the design that is possible because of the stiffeners... this one is a great question for the serious 'propellerheads' who understand the physics but I for one just like what I find at pull time -Dave Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend (Lennon/McCartney) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
