fool 0 #2 December 15, 2003 are you sure you don't mean Omega??? and I'm guessing you mean demoing a canopy... test jumping is something far different. Sorry if it sounds condescending, but....

dragon2 0 #7 December 16, 2003 An Icarus representative gave me this link: http://www.nzaerosports.com/ These guys could probably tell you more about the canopy. Apperantly you can still order an Alpha or Beta? Or the order form needs updating... ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

masterrigger1 2 #11 October 4, 2008 In a nutshell, the Beta is a Sabre 1 type canopy with better openings if it is still in trim. Cheers, MELSkyworks Parachute Service, LLC www.Skyworksparachuteservice.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
