Jeff5050 0 #1 March 31, 2015 Hey all, I just had my pilot relined about 10 jumps ago. Same line type and size. I put close to 300 on the last line set and was pretty in tune to it opening characteristics. Nine times out of ten so far the slider has only come down about 3/4 of the way, out of reach to kill it without giving a tug on the rears, I've looked closely at the grommets and they feel good. Its not a major issue, just wondering if anyone else has experienced this before. It's never has hung up once in the past. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shift 0 #4 March 31, 2015 i just got my sabre2 150s relined and the slider typically stays up higher longer. not a big deal for me. pump rears and its fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dutton 0 #5 March 31, 2015 The easiest way to fix that problem is to find a real old ZP canopy like a Sabre or even better, a Monarch. If it has way out of trim 550's, even better still. Deploy one of those at terminal a bunch of times. You'll love your openings on your Pilot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 643 #6 March 31, 2015 Sounds like the new lines re-trimmed it back it's original soft openings. Sabre 2 was specifically designed to open softer/slower than Sabre 1. OTOH, worn-out lines often elicit complaints about hard openings or openings that take forever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff5050 0 #7 March 31, 2015 Yea its funny, I almost like the feel of the old line set better! It was a pretty consistent 600 feet from pitch to slider down. Now its even softer and tends to hunt more and take its sweet time! Im curious wheres its at now. WL 1.3 pilot 150. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
