Very nice swoop canopy
Rated by: Sobakin (more about me) on 2008-08-29 03:24:17 (user reviews) Review ID:2049

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 (more about me) on 2008-02-01 10:17:10 (user reviews) Review ID:1934

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... blue sky
