New lines for hornets

Recommended Posts

I need to get a main and I haven't been able to get my hands on a used spectre 190. Plan B is a hornet 190 that my rigger is looking at. Haven't gotten in touch with the seller to see DOM and number of jumps, but the lines look good for now.

When the lines do need replacing, though, are there still documents floating around out there that give the specs for a new line set? My rigger says he can make a new set if he has the right info for the canopy.


Good to hear that the hornet's fabric makes it easy to pack. I've gotten used to the old F-111 that someone gave me, so packing a brand new zp canopy takes me forever.

Does anyone hate hornets with a passion but love spectres, original sabres or pilots?


Thanks.

If I remember correctly the line trim specs for the Hornet and the Heatwave were posted on here a few years ago. Beyond that, there are other riggers that have them if Aerodyne can't help. Mel comes to mind.

As for Hornet vs Spectre vs Sabre...well, there have been quite a few threads on the Hornet as well as the Sabre and Spectre. All I can really say is that if you're used to a Spectre's openings then you'll probably want a dome or pocket slider for your Hornet.
