BMFin 0 #1 July 20, 2002 Why does PISA give 120sqft. hornet 144 lbs. MAX loading when PD recommends MAX 190 lbs. for SABRE 120sqft. (and about the same for sabre2) Are the flight characteristics so much different in those two canopies loaded the same way or is PD more brave in giving the MAX loading numbers ?

Jimbo 0 #2 July 20, 2002 Maybe because they're different canopies from different companies? Contrary to popular belief, the Hornet is not a Sabre, it's a Hornet. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveMonkey 0 #3 July 20, 2002 I think PISA are quite "conservative" as well when it comes to max loadings - even the Heatwave has a max loading of 1.2 which isn't a lot for a full elliptical.____________________ Say no to subliminal messages Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
