canopycudler 0 #1 December 17, 2001 Well today was the best rainy day of my life!!... I did it.. purchased my first rig.. Omega210 with Tempo210 reserve & Cypres. its in a dolphin container that I'm ditching as soon as my NEW WINGS container gets here!!! I really wouldn't mind the container that bad but its all velcro and the previous owner felt the need to freehand a dolphin on the flap with fabric paint.. ewwwww... lol Also ordered my jumpsuit today! The container is charcoal with Red & Yellow Tye Dye.. I can't wait till it gets here..Would one be considered crazy if the seat buckled it in on the ride home .. just kidding.. excited .. can you tell!!!. I'm trying to learn to propack.. did a few times today at the DZ and about 5 more tonite.. packing is not so bad when its your own gear.!!Ok.. now for the questions.. has anyone jumped an Omega before? I have not yet jumped it.. but done some research on it.. Its a 7cell... have heard no bad stories yet.. I welcome ANY and ALL comments..Merry Christmas to me!!Tina aka... FBF & TT1 not PIU Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have payed particular attention to two low pulls lately. Low.... like damn near Cypres low...Anyway I did notice that those canopies seem to have a pretty healthy snivel. Not as much as a Spectre but more than most canopies. So.....don't pull low!!!!! Cangrats on the gear!!
