at this point it's more like more programming! And boy does it suck. But damn you are gonna like them there features when it's done. Check out the screenshot yo. edited to add: we just went straight with a computer interface, more features, sooner. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

I suspect Apple won't want dual boot with osx and xp, any ideas on likely safeguards to using xp on the new intel apple stuff? FWIW, I LOVE macs, and if I didn't need to run a ton of math modelling/engineering software, I'd use apple exclusively. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

??? I thought I said "I couldn't agree more with Skybytch" = "I agree with skybytch lots!"? ??? I think the advice that she gave was great, and appropriate. I agree that it has the potential as a great student canopy, because the price can be right, and the opening "deficiency" that is present in some can usually be fixed. It is also the jam to fly around, has good flare, and you can learn a ton! But mostly just her defense of the fact that a new jumper doesn't necessarily need to buy brand new equipement to jump, otherwise they're "asking for trouble". It is really most discouraging to hear some jumpers hassle other jumpers because they don't have the latest and greatest.

Good god, are we on this bandwagon AGAIN!? Just to throw in my 0.02$, I think the Sabre can be a fine canopy, and don't think it's trash. I agree that some can slam, but I don't think that it's an unfixable issue. Nor is it a killer issue. To skybytch: I owned both a Spectre and original Sabres, and I can honestly say that the Spectre has whacked me the hardest. I couldn't agree more with what you said. To the original poster: A lot of things can affect how these canopies open, and there are a lot of different options to modify the openings to your own comfort level. Just don't jump on the "Sabres will break into your house, steal cash from your dresser, and knock up your daughter" mentality, like SOME people on this forum. Approach it analytically, involve an experienced rigger/packer for slider/packing help, and then enjoy the hell out of that canopy. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

Jesus christ everybody, i think the answer is clear as day! Hard riser inserts! Tons of them! wrapped around the cables! How could it NOT work. Now, in all seriousness. Tin can's and string?

All the ideas so far have been dumb as hell. Why not make a freefall SOMETHING (assuming you jump at a place that might let you do this) and have it be CYPRES activated. Have it release something at cutter-time! Take it on a fun dive! It could be a like a freefall pinata. Confetti? Nuns? Canaries?

What's that disease that Stan gets in the southpark episode where they are trying to save all the little calves from being turned into veal? I can never remember what it was called...

It's a one piece suit, like they make for little kids that have the padded feet and hands. We got the pattern for it at a fabric store as well as all the material. The pattern initially called for a hoodie separate of the rest of the costume, but my girlfriend helped me make it one piece. The tail was detachable for reduced-horseshoe issues. It definately took us a couple of fittings to get the whole thing nice and snug and get the booties to fit as well, but it now fits as good (maybe a little better than) my RW suit. We tapered the front of the hoodie down a bit and made it snug so it would stay in place in freefall. The really suprising thing about this suit was how much it slowed my fallrate, even though it fits the same as my other RW suit. The girl I jump with is normally pretty floaty on me, and with this suit, I was really working to stay down with her, so that was an interesting effect of the furry material. PM me if you need any more details. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC
