A2

Item: A2 
Manufacturer: Aerodyne Research Corporation   (359 Hits)
   

Description:
The A2 was designed to be the workhorse of your tandem operation. It is the tandem canopy you have been looking for but could never find, until now.

The A2 is an elliptical 9-cell canopy, built with a combination of zero-porosity and 0-3 cfm fabric. Its airfoil and moderate planform factor guarantee superb handling characteristics, to minimize the workload of tandem masters. Not only will they find the toggle pressure, turn response and flare power they have been seeking, but they will be pleasantly surprised by the soft on-heading openings.

Aerodyne A2 tandem canopy
Rated by: kevino (more about me) on 2007-04-15 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1783

Pros: Too soon to tell
Cons: Too soon to tell

I have just taken delivery of my new A2 tandem main and did my first tandem jump with it today. After 200 tandems, all on old canopies, this was my first on a new generation canopy. Great opening, flies very well and with minimal toggle pressure. Good work Aerodyne - nice user friendly canopy.

A2 350 Tandem Canopy
Rated by: suki (more about me) on 2005-06-02 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1293

Pros: Openings
I Have 7.5k Jumps well over 4k in Tandems and 22 years experience. I bought a sigma and the dealer sent me the A2 to demo after my first jump it was no longer a demo canopy, no one was taking this away I bought it on the spot. The best feature of this canopy would have to be the openings. A nice snivel and slow to inflate. I did 10 jumps on it in one day(2 on the Ezy) all big guys ,I still had arms left to lift a beer at the end of the day. Landings are great and toggle pressure slightly haevier than a Jyro. Colapsable slider great(but I have trouble reaching it) I've ordered another one

A2 - Tandem Main
Rated by: djmarvin (more about me) on 2004-12-10 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1137

Pros: Toggle pressure, Flare
Cons: haven't found one yet

I have jumped EZ and Icarus tandem mains and enjoy both for their own reasons. Our DZ demo'ed a 389 and then demoe'ed and purchased a 350. The toggle pressure is a little bit more than an Icarus, but still light. Great flare. Collapsible slider is also a nice touch. When are DZ takes road trips with our own gear I will choose the A2 out of the other tandem mains we currently have.
