    Congrats on 1st jump, and that smile won't go away. It will just get bigger and bigger the more you jump. wait till someone catches you with that big smile and a far away look in your eyes, if they only knew what you were thinking about --------------------------------------------------

    Need help on what to do to help me get all the way in and dock....I can fly and get in position for position for dock no problem, but when I go for dock there seems to be an imaginary bubble around the person I am docking with that I can't get thru...Get so close I fight the urge to reach for grips. Do not understand whats up with this last 1-2 feet before dock..once I get in the dock feels good with very little tension, it's just getting in.... Maybe I need to be more aggressive in close? Thanks for the help, Bob --------------------------------------------------

    Are wearing it as an audible or a wrist mount?. Had same trbl with mine in a Z1 openface w/audible port....Found a foam spacer on mounting clip was partially blocking the port on it. Removed some of the foam to get a clear area around sensor and voila problem solved. --------------------------------------------------

    Russ, I just put 6 jumps on my new sabre2 170/infinity rig this last weekend....I opened around 7k on the 1st jumps and did all that you have stated...I also did turns w/front and rear risers and took it right up to stall w/the rears... I also did alot of flairs watching the canopy to see how it reacted. I also (read about this in the posts) was when still up high and clear of all traffic I went thru a flair with my eyes closed to get how it feels ingrained in my head, did those a few times clearing airspace between each of course. Just remember anything you do with it chk it out with one of your dz instructors 1st and if you do them do it high. I love my new canopy and how positive it reacts to imputs...Have fun , Bob --------------------------------------------------

    I just got the same canopy and size and I found that it is easier to psycho pack...I plan on using this method till I get it broke in....As with anything speak to your local rigger/packers before trying anything new.. I think you are going to like that canopy --------------------------------------------------

    Finally got to jump my new sabre2 170 Sunday and Monday.. All I can say is wow, 1st jump did not finish flair had to roll it out. Next 5 were all stand-up....Man this thing has tons of flair once you figure out how it likes to be flaired which was very easy....Toogle inputs created very positive movements in the canopy, have never felt this comfortable or safe under any other canopy. Will turn quick enough to spin up some line twists, did it up high. Openings were soft but not on heading, but I think that may be more body position than anything...had 1-2 twists on 5 of 6 jumps. Overall I am very very satisfied with this new canopy.... Will keep updating as I get more jumps on it.... --------------------------------------------------

    Finally jumped my new infinity Sunday in Deland. All I can say is wow, couldn't even tell I had a rig on in freefall and under canopy with the double wide leg straps, felt like I was sitting in a lazyboy...Thanks Infinity you rock..... --------------------------------------------------
