NathanL100 0 #1 October 1, 2002 I don't live close to any of the Icarus dealers that also have a demo program and I want to try the crossfire 2 before I decide what I'm going to buy. So do any of you guys know if Icarus does a demo program similar to PD's?Base # 942 The race is long and in the end, its only with yourself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jimbo 0 #3 October 1, 2002 Icarus has a 31 day unconditional money back gaurantee. Not exactly a demo program, but a pretty nice deal IMO. If you're really concerned about it why don't you call them? - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NathanL100 0 #4 October 1, 2002 I'm planning on calling them soon, but I thought that it would be easier to just post something. Also I could find anything about their demo program on their web site, but maybe I wasn't looking hard enough. ThanksBase # 942 The race is long and in the end, its only with yourself.

PhreeZone 15 #5 October 1, 2002 For that gaurentee don't you have to first come up with the money for the canopy, even if you don't like it?Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimbo 0 #6 October 1, 2002 Considering that it's a money back gaurantee I would imagine that that's the case. But what have you got to lose? - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nathaniel 0 #7 October 2, 2002 A bunch of demo mains were at Chicagoland this weekend, Safire-2's and Crossfire-2's of most sizes and a couple of cross-braced handkerchiefs...I understand they are making their way across the country. Very nice, after a couple jumps I'm pretty much set on a Safire-2. NathanielMy advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me, Lebowski?

skygod7777 0 #8 October 2, 2002 yes icarus has a demo program, but right now all of the demo's are on the boogie circut. so right now you can't get one. but if you call, you may be able to get dibs on one as soon as they come off the circut, i think in about a month or month in a half. later blue sky's and long swoops kelly ps: i know this because i have called and tried to get the vx 83 demo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 259 #9 October 2, 2002 A bunch of demo Icarus mains will be at Perris for a month or so starting in early October. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
narcimund 0 #10 October 2, 2002 Yes, I demoed my Safire before ordering one this spring. They were very nice about it. They even sent me the demo back after I ordered my main so I'd have something to jump while they built it. First Class Citizen Twice Over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnny1488 1 #11 October 3, 2002 Talk to Simon and he will work with your situation to find out whats best. My girlfriend bought an omni. She wasnt 100% about it so he is sending her a safire2 of the same size, and he said hold on to them both to compare and then he can work from there. Very helpful every step of the way.

JJohnson 0 #12 October 3, 2002 Let me know what you think about the CF2. I jumped the CF and went for the Cobalt. Also tried Safire 1. Recently I jumped a Samurai and was really impressed by it. I'd be curious to hear another opinion besides Rhino's. My previous experience with Icarus was not exactly a good one, but I'd be willing to give the CF2 a shot, if it really is as good as Rhino says.

JJohnson 0 #14 October 3, 2002 No chance, I love that canopy. But I am looking at getting another rig again. I do love having two. Choices on that canopy would be: Comp. Cobalt Samurai CF2 possibly Or perhaps the crossbraced coming out by Atair or Big Air Sportz. The Samurai really impressed me.
