Hey, Anybody on here work at the Denver Fed Center? I just got a job with the USGS in building 53, and am trying to find some other people who work for the man. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

Irregardless, I don't think that it makes it "gutter gear". If the pocket slider is what it took to slow down the canopy, is it still a bad canopy? Should the posting jumper get rid of it, because it is "untameable"? I am not arguing the fact that sabres can whack you opening. Careful packing solved a majority of my problems. That has been my experience. If it takes a pocket slider to fix other canopies, then so be it. I am arguing the fact that it is a "trash" canopy, and that so many people jump on the trash-sabres bandwagon. I am disagreeing with the attitude that Matt seems to have that "sabres are killer canopies". Matt, your argument regarding pack time has very little bearing on whether or not the canopy is "trash" or not, I'm not sure why you bring it up. Regarding the other poster mentioning my canopy change. Yes, I had a spectre. It was a great canopy. I also got whacked by it once. But its purchase was not controlled by openings as you seem to think it is. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

Yah yah. We've all seen the several threads where one person complains, and then several others, who haven't jumped the canopy , hop on the bandwagon, because they don't know any better. You don't think that packing, body position, or other deployment conditions effect canopy openings? Get real. The fact of the matter is, the sabre is a great flying canopy. It requires a little more attention during packing. Once you learn this, it can be a great opening canopy. Any canopy can whack you if your packjob is weak or incorrect. Really learn to control your packjob, and you won't have to rely on the "Latest and Greatest" canopy to save you from your packing misgivings. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

I also had a Sabre190, and got whacked infrequently, though I can sympathize. Do not, however, listen to Matt, because most sabre's are not "gutter gear". They simply require more attention to packing. Making sure the slider is really evenly quartered and all the way to the stops is critical. This seems often overlooked in the days of lazy, sloppy packing. You will find a lot of different opinions about the Sabre online here. And, as above, you will see a lot of people trashing them who likely haven't jumped one. Take the time to figure yours out and learn to control the pack, and it will become a great canopy. The search link provided in an above post will also lead to other possible tricks to control the sabre opening. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

Just be nice boys and girls and make sure to photoshop any identifying badge/car numbers out of the picture. No reason to bone the nice authorities right? .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

Only if I have my kickin' boots on, or my pressure washer in hand. Though let me add that for the typical stray dog that is answering the call of the wild, I'll ignore it. It's the lazy fucks who are walking their dog, let it shit in my yard, look at me, and then walk away. They deserve getting sprayed with the hose. A good week of sitting on my porch with pressure washer in hand drastically reduced the amount of crap in my yard. And reduced the amount of people who walk their dog through my yard. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

Then again, if they can't tell a video camera and a boom mike from weapons of war, what other mistakes might occur? Does that make it ok? .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

*** If you check out some 3d R/C flying you can actually get a r/c plane to hover and fly like a helicopter ie the prop is horizontal rather than vertical, but funnily enough it doesnt spin the r/c around on the vertical axis. I'll keep that in mind the next time I'm flying. And here all this time I was putting in some aileron to compensate, silly me. In response to the original poster, yes, of course this effect is felt in airplanes, just not nearly so much. Ever ridden in a muscle car? The next time you do, throw it in neutral and stomp it. With the right amount of muscle behind this, a good amount of body roll can be experienced. Same thing. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

My favorite is an oldie, but a goodie. Hopefully you have a kitchen sink that has one of the spray things that you can pull from the sink to spray down vegetables and stuff. find a rubber band of the same color, wrap up the trigger, and aim it in the direction the next person to turn on the sink will be at. I used to REGULARLY get my roomate phil. Such fun. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

I don't think it's a Feisler Storch (or however the hell it's spelled). The landing gear look similar, but they have a much smaller body and leading edge slats. I got no ideas... .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

That'd be it. Bodypilot's relative to the (by our definition) murderer. I'm interested in your opinions, but I am definately not here to argue my point. As previously mentioned, arguing differing opinions in SC is like trying to herd cats. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

So what's the difference between him and the gentleman in the "check what this SOB had to say" post? A lot or a little? Further, I am not here to argue with you guys, because it, as usual, is like talking to wall. Neither am I justifying what the guy in the aforementioned post did. But some food for thought, especially if you want to commend the importance of actioning what you believe. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

Your little link there regarding Homosexuality also has this to say about Halloween: Do you agree with all the stances found on that webpage? Or just the ones that suit your motive? .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

Bite back. It really, really works. Play as normal, but the second you get bit, grab some tail or ear, and bite back, just once. They learn VERY quick. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC
