johnny1488 1 #27 July 19, 2006 Quotebut NZ Aerosports is the company that provided the designs. they provided the original designs. The Safire2, Crossfire2, Omni were designed by CIMSA. The newer canopies that are coming out are also designed by CIMSA. Daedalus canopies is not affiliated with Icarus Canopies in any way. Johnny --"This ain't no book club, we're all gonna die!"

rhys 0 #28 July 19, 2006 don't quote me on it but i think you will find that icarus origionaly was form NZaerosports only. Gyro Sold the rights to construct them to precision (or something like that) then a couple of people died because of a technical fuck up on the crossfire. Icarus pulled the pin on precision because they fucked up!(then the Xaos was spawned) the crossfire 2 was developed. and is arguablt the best all round mid range canopy on the market. then the rights to the icarus designs were sold to and american company and a spanish company. NOW Daedalus is not Icarus so americans and spanish cant make them. So JVX,GLX, GLS and soon to be JSX are from NZaerosports exclusively. I may be wrong but from what i understand this is how it is. and I was told JVX stands for Jims VX? He really works hard in many areas does Jim Slaton and is really pushing the sport of canopy flight in leaps and bounds. my $0.2"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diablopilot 2 #29 July 19, 2006 Quotedon't quote me on it but i think you will find that icarus origionaly was form NZaerosports only. Gyro Sold the rights to construct them to precision Quote A company called Icarus Canopies was formed, including production facilities in the US and Spain. (or something like that) then a couple of people died because of a technical fuck up on the crossfire.Quote One person died while competeing in a swoop competition. The colapse of her canopy was never fully explained. Icarus pulled the pin on precision because they fucked up!Quote Inacurate. Even an original Crossfire test pilot for NZ Aerossports reported that there were problems of instability and inflation of the original design. (then the Xaos was spawned) the crossfire 2 was developed. and is arguablt the best all round mid range canopy on the market.Quote I'd argue that. then the rights to the icarus designs were sold to and american company and a spanish company.*** Ire same Icarus corperation holds the ownership of the designs AFAIK. NOW Daedalus is not Icarus so americans and spanish cant make them. So JVX,GLX, GLS and soon to be JSX are from NZaerosports exclusively.
