ManBird 0 #26 May 17, 2004 QuoteI have never seen a properly trimmed and rigged Sabre 2 that stalls with such a short toggle stroke. I've jumped the Saber 2 as high as a 2.0 wing loading, and as light a 1.2 and again, I've never seen that occur.Totes. I load my Sabre2 at 1.8 and have observed loadings between 1.1 and 2.0. The only negative effect of factory setting has is a little bucking on front riser turns. I let mine out four inches and fixed that. This canopy has endless flare."¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cloggy 1 #27 May 17, 2004 I don't see any problem with stalling either. I load my Sabre2-170 at about 1.3 (enough for my experience level ) This weekend I flew with the toggles all the way down (knee level...) and the canopy just will not stall. I need to take a wrap on the steering lines to get it to stall. I found also that the factory settings on the brake lines are just a bit too short for frontrisers, so I'm going to lengthen them with 4 to 6 inches. (see what my rigger advises).

daveom 0 #28 May 17, 2004 I asked Beezy his opinion on lower-experienced pilots (100-200 jumps) flying lower-loaded Nitros (around 1.1) and he replied:"At that experience level and wing loading the Nitro is a very easy to fly canopy with no downside at all."The website recommends 500 jumps before loading at 1.3 or over.DavePS permission given to quote!
