Sabre2 - готов!!!

После проделанной нами гигантской работы, преемник самого популярного из когда-либо производимых основных куполов готов!

Наш новый, слегка эллиптический, сшитый из ткани нулевой воздухопроницаемости, девятисекционный Sabre2 - готов. Этот купол предназначен для широкого слоя парашютистов, начиная с консерваторов и заканчивая продвинутыми любителями скорости. Sabre2 имеет все те летные характеристики, которых ждали многие самые требовательные заказчики:

· Sabre2 прощает больше погрешностей при укладке, чем Sabre. Легко достижимы мягкие, без доворотов открытия.
· Sabre2 имеет слегка более пологий угол планирования и более чуток в управлении, чем старый Sabre. И в тоже время его нельзя назвать чрезмерно чувствительным.
· Основной задачей при создании Sabre2 было сделать его легко управляемым: с меньшими нагрузками на клеванты и свободные концы при его управлении, а когда Вы приземляетесь, он позволяет на более низкой скорости создать ту же подъемную силу, что и старый Sabre.

Что же все это значит?
Если Вы входите в число тех, кто терпеливо ждал этого дебюта, то вы не будете разочарованы.

 Несколько писем от обладателей Sabre2, в которых они сравнивают его с Spectre:

   I jump a Spectre(210)loaded about 1.2:1.  I'm currently demoing a Sabre 2190(1.33:1), I've put 16 jumps on it so far and I love it.  The openings are smooth, slightly faster than my Spectre.  It is much more responsive to toggle and riser inputs, and the flare power is amazing.  On my first jump I started to flare it the same as my Spectre and got several feet of lift, so watch yourself.  I haven't gotten to test the glide much 'cause the uppers were really crankin', but based on the lift it provides near the ground I think it will be great for making it back from long spots. I hope to put a bunch more jumps on the demo this weekend,and order one for myself over the winter.

  I have been jumping a spectre 170 since getting my A license and loved the way it opened.  I wanted to downsize, but didn't want the openings the
original sabre is prone to and didn't feel I was ready to try a stilleto.  I
am glad I waited until the Sabre2 came out and had the opportunity to jump one.  It had all the performance characteristics I was hoping for.  I
ordered a 150 and amanxiously waiting its arrival.
  One of our riggers told me, "don't demo the Sabre2 unless you are prepared tobuy one, because you will like it that much."

  I currently jump a Sabre 150. Have ~100 jumps on it.
The PD tour came by my DZ this past weekend and I managed to demo a
Spectre 150 and a Sabre2 150. Put 2 on the Spectre and 2 on the Sabre2.
  Now color me goofy, and granted I didn't really get a chance to put each
through their paces, but at least my inital preference was the Spectre.
 I particularly liked the opening and flare characteristics. I always felt
 completely in control. To tell you the truth, I really had a hard time
distinguishing the Sabre2's perfromance from my "regular" Sabre.
I have demos of the Sabre2 and Spectre 135 coming, so I'll have a little
more chance to play around with both.

 Hi!
 I jumped the new Sabre 2 in different sizes (170, 150, 135) and i have to
say, every canopy is really fun - when it is deployed...
the demo 170 AND 150 (each about 10-15 rides on it) i jumped had some problems direct after the opening: they really turned bad to the side - so they checked them and noticed that some lines are about 3-5" too long. i am not sure why this is - maybe people don't care to much if they jump a demo? I wan't the sabre2 really bad but now, i am not sure at all!
did anybody notice something similar?
oh yeah, and the landings are really easy and smooth.

Blue skies!
