earth2eric 12 #1 June 9, 2012 How much would you pay for a ZP EXE from Parachute Systems with 1200 jumps on it that needs a reline and new slider? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd pay exactly whatever a wall decoration piece is worth to me. every dollar you put into that canopy in order to make it airworthy is a dollar wasted.

earth2eric 12 #6 June 10, 2012 lol For sure! Thanks for the quick replies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joellercoaster 6 #7 June 10, 2012 I disagree a tiny bit, at least with the waste part. I wouldn't pay money for it either, but it might be worth the cost of a reline and a new slider to get it airborne for someone, if it's what's available.-- "I'll tell you how all skydivers are judged, .

pj_jumper 0 #9 June 10, 2012 i think the brand new 135 is still for sale in the classifieds. $800 and ALL BLACK. what would this canopy fly like? are even brand new ones worth anything? there are no reviews or information on these canopies that i can find.Skydiving without a parachute is easy, its skydiving twice without a parachute that is extremely difficult Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon2 2 #10 June 10, 2012 It's sort of like a sabre 1, a little less performance I think (think old-skool square student-type canopy-ish). These days, I wouldn't pay usd 800 for a new sabre 1, so no way would I pay that for a "copy". But that's just me. If you need a tame square 135 that will likely open brisk, and this gets you in the air, why not. It would make a decent wingsuit canopy if you don't load it too much (I'm not sure how much you can load a zp exe, I wouldn't go over 1.4 myself maybe lower). ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YvonneWiggers 0 #11 June 11, 2012 I jumped a 185 for a while, and the openings weren't what I would call brisk at all, actually, the slider wouldn't come down by itself and even with 'helping' by yanking the backrisers the openings took like a thousand feet."So I jump out, look up, and think 'Oh SHIT!... It's PINK!!!'" - army guy after his first staticline jump Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joellercoaster 6 #14 June 12, 2012 Heh. If it helps anyone, I borrowed one for a weekend of maybe ten jumps a while ago, a 150 loaded at about 1.5. It opened beautifully, the best thing about it. I thought it was an OK canopy, reliable and lacking in surprises. And you just had to look at it sternly to get it into the bag - utterly hassle-free. Downside: not great glide ratio, kind of stodgy on the toggles. But if the price is right..?-- "I'll tell you how all skydivers are judged, .
