Thanks for asking. I like the way the Firebolt flies, and have learned to live with the end cells not opening. It is very disconcerting when you expect a fully opened canopy, but if you expect only most of it to open and then pump the toggles a bit to get the rest opened, then it is not so bad. I still don't know why it consistently has end cell closure, but am now not surprised and just live with it.
No that wasn't standard. The fireball comes with this gigantic slider and I saw a couple other people ask for venter slider, so that made sense to me and that's how I ordered it
@@jefflaun9561 Thank you for the info, very interesting how the vents are on the 2 sides as opposed to vented in the middle. Do you know of any explanation for that? Only 3 jumps on my new Firebolt 200, certainly could speed up the openings a little.
What was the resolution to this issue?

I've never seen a slider with the vented regions as in this video. Please tell me if that was standard or what the story is.

@@joedoakes-n3p My biggest problem with the fire bolt was the end cells weren't opening nicely. Are you having any problems like that
@@jefflaun9561 No, that is not a problem on mine.
