But more better than a "Königin" is Arnold Schwarzenegger In Austria Jörg Haider isn't loved. He's out. Our new hero is Arnold Asta la vista Baby _________________________________________ sorry for broken english, I'm Austrian

i never said i would like to downsize. the nitro 135/150 i've jumped before are rental gears from the dzo where i jumped. i'd like to buy my own one. the question was to hear about skydivers expirience with canopys i had never jumped like sabre2 or some like this. _________________________________________ sorry for broken english, I'm Austrian

my question is weeks ago, and in this time a spoke to my instructors. i will not jump a nitro 150, because this is a canopy that needs high WL to give good performance. i jumped it 15 times, and with my exitweight the canopy is not flying good. i will not decide for a nitro 135 because its a german canopy and the price is high (changerate for € to $ is very good now for europeans ) i guess i will try sabre2 with wl 1.25. this is a dessicon that i did together with my instructors, and they said that this canopy will not be so agressive and more conservativ than the nitro 135. i know what skills you need for swooping, i dont have now. this is not my preference, but i know that size doesnt matter when you want to swoop blue skies manuel _________________________________________ sorry for broken english, I'm Austrian

very good link. i checked out, i did most of it, but never tried to flare with rear risers. 1.47 on nitro isn't like 1.47 on a sabre2 or equal canopy. nitro is produced in germany and they have a special method to measure the sqft of a canopy. maybe its part of marketing but a nitro 150 has the area of a 170sqft standard measured canopy. so when i calculate, i've jumped nitro on WL 1.17 and 1.33 blue skies _________________________________________ sorry for broken english, I'm Austrian

i took a look to my jumpbook: maybe the austrian education is different to the american, but i jumped WL 1.0 since my 16th dive. also my education needs more jumps than uspa license. here its very necessary to be a good canopy pilot, otherwise you don't get the licence. jump 31 - 45 WL1.25 on nitro jump 45 - 60 WL1.47 on nitro so, definetly WL 1.0 would be 2 steps back for me. i think i will speak to my instructors today. thanks for comments, blue skies manuel _________________________________________ sorry for broken english, I'm Austrian

what i will read is your experience, but most comments sounds to me like i'm a big idiot. and this is really what i wont read to be cool i don't need a small canopy. is a sabre2 loaded with 1.25 really so unsafe for my level? be sure, i will be sensitive, otherwise i wouldn't ask for experience from other skydivers _________________________________________ sorry for broken english, I'm Austrian

hmm.... i had a bad line twist on nitro and my expirience is that this canopy isn't so aggressive. i won't become a swooping champion within the next 50 jumps, i'm only searching for a canopy that alows to swoop when i wish to do. _________________________________________ sorry for broken english, I'm Austrian

i think you can die in both situations. but it depends on the person if one of this situations happens. and i also know that skydiving is more dangerous than cookie backing on sunday morning. maybe it's better to talk with my instructor to get serious information. he knows how i'm flying and he knows me. thanks for you comments _________________________________________ sorry for broken english, I'm Austrian

thanks for your comment. i'd like to write a little bit more about me and skydiving: my last 12 jumps were on the nitro 135, my old instructor told me i should try. also he said that i've an special feeling for canopy control, maybe that depends on that i was motorcycle racing for 8 years, and speed is no problem in desicions for me. my feeling was also good on this canopy, i don't feel unsafe. i know about the accidents from parachutist, but i think most depends on how you are flying a canopy. i also talked with a czech competition flyer, who was long time on my DZ and knows very good my skills. he told me to try the 135 sabre2. to do a canopy control course is a good idea. i think i would try. blue skies manuel _________________________________________ sorry for broken english, I'm Austrian

In april 04 i'll come to florida for three weeks, do do much skydives. Also i want to buy a complete gear for me. i've 60 jumps and experience on nitro 150/135 (in us nitron) with WL 1.47 at the 135. i think i'm a safe skydiver, but i also want to have fun when flying the canopy. principal, the nitro is a nce canopy, but i don't like the recovery arc, it recovers to fast and you can't go long dives. i'm looking for a canopy where i can do swoops but i won't have an too aggressive that is to fast for me. i read a lot about sabre2, stilletto and samurai and i think one of them, size 135 or 150 will fit best for me. so i hope you can tell me a lot from your experience, that i will do a good decision. thanks, blue skies, manuel from austria _________________________________________ sorry for broken english, I'm Austrian
