Very nice swoop canopy

Review of: NEOS in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Soft onheading openings, very long recovery arc, soft front risers
Cons: high price :)

I have 100+ jumps on my Neos-89 (loaded 2.03), I like it!
It opens softly like Crossfire, first stage - it snivel about 3 sec, second - while inflating, it starts to fly forward, and You can effectively steer it by legs until it inflates.
It dives deeper than Xaos27 of same size!
Soft front risers, a bit hard rears, powerful flare and high oversteer - You may stop rotation by opposite front riser or leg.
Очень зачетный парашютег!

What a ride
Rated by: Ozzyrulez on 2008-02-01 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: NEOS in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: openings, speed range
Cons: hard to tell after 1 jump... none so far!

I had the chance to test jump a friends Neos 109. Thanks Frank! Wingload was 1.9. The opening was very soft, softer than my Spectre that I used to jump a few years ago. Speed range is wide, the flare out of a 'straight in approach' was solid and ended with a few steps. The toggle pressure is very high compared to a non cross braced. I just made one jump under this canopy, but I am very impressed. Great canopy for the ambitious swooper who is looking for a cross braced with great openings...
