fundgh 0 #1 June 10, 2003 I am considering upsizing from a Sabre 150 to a Sabre 170 for "margin of error" sakes. Will I need to buy a different pilot chute or d-bag? I put my buddy's 170 in my container and it fit easily, but that was using his d-bag. My container is a Mirage G3....FUN FOR ALL! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanuckInUSA 0 #2 June 10, 2003 Unless I'm mistaken, dbags are sized for the container not the canopy size. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #3 June 10, 2003 Yes, but the container is sized for the range of canopies it will fit. Your best bet is to drop an e-mail or call the folks at Mirage, I know that they would be more then happy to help you out! --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

hookitt 1 #4 June 10, 2003 Simple answer is, does it fit in your existing bag? Put it in there. You're pilot chute should be just fine.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ronnie 0 #6 June 11, 2003 David, A 170 will fit in your d-bag. It will probably be tight, but it will fit. It will make you pack better!

Congratulations, David. It takes a lot of introspect in these times of "downsizing" to upsize. Wish more folks had that.

By the way, I really want to give you your "Crosswind" back. We should get a beer after work or something. Let me know if you come up to Mother's or something....FUN FOR ALL! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Ronnie 0 #9 June 11, 2003 It had an Omega 150 originally. The container is designed to hold a 150, but it will fit a 135 to 170. Of course, the 170 will be tight, the 135 squishy. Yes, let's have a beer. I will call you. Maybe the Farmers Market?
