Fluid Wings HK | HKT

Recommended Posts

I have the AW79 Hybrid... I find it packs more like a VK90/96 vs. VK84.

I've been using a v306 u-stow with the AW79 and it fits perfect. That said, I used the same dbag for VC96, VK96 and VK84... the VK84 was soft!

I did demo the AW96 and it was a real b*tch to pack it in the v306! was doable, but the ugly!

Larry's all FT-30 HKT 73 packs fine in my smaller rig (Infinity I-12sn), probably a size bigger than my 75 Valkyrie Hybrid so maybe 2 sizes? Nowhere even close to as tight as my Peregrine 67. I didn't feel like it was super different to Larry's HKT 79 (Fluid's standard HKT hybrid is ZP with sail ribs if I remember correctly?).

More to the point (IMO) is that FT-30 is nowhere near as difficult to pack as sail.

I have put those 3 canopies on my rig:

1) Airwolf 75 with FT 30 on the Top Skin and Ribs (Hybrid type 1)
2) Helix 84 Hybrid (Ribs, Mini ribs and xbraces) (similar amount of sail as a hybrid VK)
3) VK 84 non-Hybrid

"3" packs about a size smaller than "1" and "2".
"1" and "2" pack about the same size.

"1" and "2" pack about the same size.

this is what I was talking about - hybrid AW pack 2 sizes bigger than full-zp VE/VC/VK. full-ft30 AW pack 3 sizes up.

my AW84 (ft30 TS and ribs) packs same size as my VC96
