Zak 0 #1 July 30, 2003 Does anybody have a used Xaos slider that they want to get rid of? I have 2 FXs and get hard openings every once in a while! I've heard that the brass grommets on the Xaos slider will help contribute to softer openings. If so, please email me at zaktessier@yahoo.com. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkyWeasel 0 #2 July 30, 2003 Personally I don't think its the brass grommets, its the actual size of the slider, they are huge. A buddy of mine jumps one and while it wont cover his bed the slider would make a great pillowcase. If you can wait for the next weekend I'll get some measurements for you, and find out if he has an extra"A superior skydiver uses his superior judgment in order not to demonstrate his superior skill."

GroundZero 0 #3 July 30, 2003 I'll send you sliders for those canopies.... that won't solve the problem.... will make a bit of an improvement, but..... what size canopies? Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diablopilot 2 #4 July 30, 2003 If you really want to tame those openings, send them into Precision Aerodynamics, and have the X mod done. Better yet IMO, sell em' and buy a couple of Xaos's---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
