Aerodyne ZPX colors...

[ChrisL 2]

I'm looking to order a new Pilot in ZPX

Problem is that its a crap shoot on colors because
Aerodyne wont provide me any swatches or even photo's
of the ZPX fabric and on-line coloring programs just dont tell you what its really going to look like.

They have a somewhat limited color selection in ZPX and gave the colors funny names.
I cant tell if "Fire" is actually red or a different color all together.

Anyone have any decent photo's of their ZPX canopies???

I don't have any pictures, sorry... I am just subscribing to this one. I am in the market for a ZPX pilot and am in the same situation!

Lets see your ZPX colors people!

HEy mate, Send me your email. I have sold my fair share of ZPX canopies and can get my customers to send their photos out to you.
The last one i had at my place was a Sunburst and Fire ZPX.
Looked awesome. The red is like a crimson but a bit lighter.
There is a similar theme with all the colours, they have this certain tone to them, almost like a 'pastel' tone, maybe that is not the best way to say it, maybe a 'crayon' tone. Just the colours are very soft.

So you are not going to get a really bright red, more like a soft red

Hard to explain but hope my description put some sort of imagine in your mind.
Anyway, through me your email and I will get some photos sent to you.
My email is [email protected]

when they say 15-20% lower pack volume what does that translate to? a size or 2 sizes smaller?

[bigway 4]

Depends how you look at it.

A rough estimate would mean that a Pilot ZPX 168 would be the same size as a Safire 2 169 or a sabre 2 170.

Aerodyne measure their canopies from the bottom skin while PD and Icarus measure from the top skin.

So A pilot ZP 168 would not always fit in a container that would take a firm Sabre 2 170

In other words it is only one size smaller than Regular Pilot ZP canopies but the same size as regular PD and Icarus canopies.

Thats pretty much my take on it.

I have a bunch of ZPX demo canopies on the way, Once they arrive I will be able to play around a bit more and get more hands on.

Cant take all the credit. Gotta give props to:

Aerodyne for sending me the swatches :)

Gary from Karnage Krew for hooking me up with with the gear.

A minor shipping delay caused by a volcano of all things, but I should have it all this week or next!

I have a combo in Margarita, Chrome and Ocean Blue. I would say the attached picture is fairly accurate for these colors. Chrome is not so strong when canopy is open in the sky, appearance is almost towards light grey. I like the combo though. Packing is still challenging, even after 60+ jobs. ZPX is very slippery.

Thanks for the post! I've been looking at the Pilot myself and have been having problems figuring out a good color scheme. It helps to see the real deal.

Why are you dredging up old posts?
