I have 27 jumps and have been jumping rental gear since I took up this sport about a year and half ago. I weigh 190lbs and have jumped PD230/Falcon235 (~22 jumps), Spectre210 (~4 jumps). I have stood up and run off most of my landings (including the one's on 210) including a couple cross winder on tarmac so I think Im fine in that department as long as I stay focused.
Question: Would it be advisable to get a Sabre190 at this stage as my first canopy? The concern is the wingloading for my experience level as well as Sabre's notoriety of being a hard opener. I was looking into a used Javelin J4 with Sabre190 and PDR190. Would this canopy combo fit safely into a Javelin J4? What would be a good price of Javelin J4/Sabre190/PDR190/Cypres/140Jumps/DOM99?
I would appreciate help with this decision!
