piisfish 135 #1 October 30, 2006 Does anybody know how the volume is compared to a Crossfire2 119 ?? Seems I'm having trouble, but maybe its only due to the slippery new material...scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piisfish 135 #2 October 31, 2006 seems I have my own answer... both canopies have a quite similar volume, the bulk of the center cells is different though, and the slippery new material made me swear ... but it in the D-Bag now...scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

piisfish 135 #5 November 1, 2006 QuoteCan you explain to me what is the Neos?It's a canopy, the new model from Icarus, it has 9 cells, but the 3 center cells are divided in 5 cells each instead of 2 for added rigidity and performance. It is a high performance canopy, not "the highest", and it's not meant to be, but quite high...scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought it was just slightly modified tri-cell x-bracing in the neos, not the new 5-cell z-bracing everyone's keeping under wraps?Do you want to have an ideagasm?

billvon 2,442 #11 November 1, 2006 >Can you explain to me what is the Neos? Partially cross-braced Icarus canopy. I put a bunch of jumps on a 99 sized one, and I liked it a lot. Only minor gripe was that it's not very stable in brakes; it needs some attention while you're stowing the slider etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it means something else, then I don't know. But it appears to show that it is 3 rather than 5 "cell" bracingSkydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakee 1,262 #13 November 1, 2006 QuoteI don't know. If modified means some of the cells are braced then yes. Modified as in the diagonal braces attach to the non line attatchment ribs half way up, instead of at the topskin. What that affects, I have no ideaDo you want to have an ideagasm?

piisfish 135 #16 November 1, 2006 dry, but I already packed my Crossfire2 119 in the same environment and I could close the rig.scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phoenixlpr 0 #17 November 1, 2006 So, you might need a bit longer loop. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
