mjosparky 3 #3 May 25, 2006 QuoteCurious, can one custom-order a canopy in a strange size? Say a Sabre2-180 or a Stiletto-260? Usually not. Canopies do not scale well and it would take some testing to determine if it would fly for shit.My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diablopilot 2 #4 May 25, 2006 Actually Precision also can do custom sizing.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GravityGirl 0 #5 May 25, 2006 Even though you can do it, it's not always the best choice. It can be a bit of a pain when it comes to reline time. And the custom sizes don't always have a perfect trim. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UDSkyJunkie 0 #6 May 26, 2006 As said before, Icarus offers that, and apparently so does precision. But really, the standard sizes are only about 10% apart in terms of area... I've never really seen a reason to get a custom size, with the exception of someone who bought like a 280 Icarus Safire."Some people follow their dreams, others hunt them down and beat them mercilessly into submission."

SansSuit 1 #7 May 26, 2006 I fly an Icarus Omni 183.5 (don't forget the point 5). The guy said I could have whatever size I wanted, including fractional sizes. So I did!
