I am Sabre 2 owner. I demoed the same size sabre 3, I found the opening better, front risers require much less pressure to get more out of it, the brake lines were longer than I am used to but not crazy. I also demoed a downsize sabre 3 and I liked it so much I bought one! Great canopy

If your a new A licensed jumper thinking about this canopy I suggest connecting with one of the places that offer demo jumps and making a few before downsizing from the size your used to flying. More responsiveness is something you should gradually build up to for your own safety gaining experience. If your hesitant in what to do in turbulence, maybe Leary of aggressive turns lossing altitude faster get a little more aggressive in your turns, better flight control and when truly comfortable and bored, go for a demo jump of this canopy in the same size. Make at least three jumps on it and if your ready downsize one size and live with it for the next 30 - 50 jumps . Have you stalled a canopy? Found yourself naturally doing mild swoop landings with ease? There was a period I had gone over a decade without jumping and retook the student course. My instructors crapped Thier pants when I started spiraling down and swooped in. Two were screaming and another laughing like crazy reminding them I had experience. My only question was how to get a canopy into a five. hit the brakes just right so you swing under and over the canopy in a 360. Where the hell did you jump they asked? Sheridan, Oregon. Oh hell no, we heard about you guys, not on our DZ.

@valentinomeier9204 3 жыл бұрын

i mean it sounds nice, but it's also what we hear about every new canopy "Great openings" "great performance" "a wing for everyone" "gentle when lightly loaded, a swooping machine when heavy loaded" "can be used for anything" "some of the most experienced pilots in the world use/used it" etc... etc... I mean i can't blame them. No one wants to advertise their canopy like: "opens like shit, flies ok, boring to fly, will break apart after 500 jumps. We spend years in R&D to be exactly where we were before. 40 Jump Jerry over there thinks it's alright" (not speaking about the Sabre3 here. Just in general) But I'll believe it when i see it

Sabre2 is a totally different project than Sabre1. In fact, the PD only took advantage of the famous name. Sabre3, on the other hand, seems to me to be an evolution of Sabre2 that presents more openings in the axis and consistent. I have the Saber2 /190 and I don't think it has bad openings, unless you pack like in Sabre1, as it will have slow, flickering and off-axis openings. The secret of Sabre2 for good openings, is not to wrap the tail too much, in fact roll the minimum to be able to pack.

@galt820 3 жыл бұрын

Ordering my vector this sunday but debating on whether to start with a 190 and have a container that will fit a 170. I'm still losing weight and jumping a 210 now at 1.13 WL. Definitely doable with a 20-22 week production time and definitely want a sabre3 but it's still so new and hard to find used. Crispy slick pack jobs in the new rig though!

Have you ever jumped a Sabre3 and if so with your experience, where do u find the maximum pendulum effect point. I heard the best way to attain it is to use one rear riser and one toggle?

Hi! I am a new skydiver I've got 17 jumps and I would like starting swooping.. i havn't the money to buy a canopy (but Im dreaming of petra, leila, sabre 3). But anyway, what is the best canopy to start swooping? thanks for your video love from France! :)

@SkydiveVibes 3 жыл бұрын

Hey that is a great goal you have. But my biggest advice is to gain experience and work on your canopy skills before thinking about swooping. That is a great objective but try to reach 200-500 jumps before. And discuss with your canopy coaches. ;) Finish your A first too.

@mariosaldinger8064 3 жыл бұрын

Are the openings really amazing? My Sabre3 190 @ 1.24 WL has the worst openings ever. Off headings for sure and the riser pressure is so massive that it is impossible to steer the canopy during sniveling and inflation. I definitely feel uncomfortable flying this canopy in Big Ways. I had no problem with my PD Pulse 210 or my NZ Safire 2 209 previously...

@SkydiveVibes 3 жыл бұрын

That is interesting. There are many things that can affect openings. I would test them like having someone else pack your canopy, make sure you are VERY stable and straight before pulling, having someone film my openings to detect any false mouvement. Moreover I would add that it seems you did downsize as well. That can change the way a canopy flies compared to what you are used to. Also it is never recommended to do hard steering during openings. Make sure to let it open alone. ;)

If it’s anything like the Sabre2, they can keep it. Sabre and Sabre2 are both trash. A Sabre2 will open 400 different ways and none on heading. You should really try Fluid Wings.
