  1. Thanks everyone for your advice. Just need to decide if to reduce the pockets size with a vertical or horizontal line of stitching. Won't be doing any hop and pops with this canopy until then that's for sure...
  2. Sure. The pocket is about 2 to 3 inches deep so could change the depth to 1 inch. Crazy to think a pocket slider can make so much difference to the opening of the canopy. Guess I'll need a rigger to do that. I'm a good sewer but hesitate to sew through ZP fabric!
  3. Would you believe it. Just jumped my new (31 jumps old) Sabre1 120 today loading at 1.2. It has a pocket slider. It took 9 seconds before the slider finally came down. Did three jumps on it, got slightly better each time but the slider still hesitated and snivelled. Last jump, only rolled the tail three times, hardly split the slider and didn't push the cells in. Still took 7 seconds for the slider to come down! Was opening each time at terminal. Any tips for packing with a pocket slider.
  4. I'm after any information for DZ's in the Osaka, Kansai Region in Japan. I have info on: http://www.aas-inc.net/index2.html (Tochigi Prefecture) http://skydive-kanazawa.com/index.htm (Kanazawa in Ishikawa prefecture) and http://www.tokyoskydivingclub.jp/ (Tokyo Skydiving club) But can anyone recommend or help me with some links for the Kansai Region? Thanks
  5. It was scary? Did it move around too much?
  6. Anyone using a Bonehead Clamshell PC100 D-Box for any other Cameras? Can I squeezzzeeee anything else into there?
