Dan 0 #1 November 5, 2002 hello all, Well after the grounding of my PdeF Ninja (shame). Got my money back and my dealer said I could have any canopy at cost!!!Cheers Dan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobsoutar 0 #2 November 5, 2002 Try a few different ones out. The Competition Cobalt springs to mind as a good sub for the Ninja. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cpoxon 0 #3 November 5, 2002 Ninja is crossbraced. Just wondering why you are not considering Velocity, Extreme, or Xaos? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmcvey 0 #4 November 5, 2002 why were the ninjas grounded? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobsoutar 0 #5 November 5, 2002 Not sure of the official wording but something along the lines of being liable to collapse in turbulence. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TALONSKY 0 #6 November 5, 2002 I have a Crossfire 2 130 wing loaded at 1.75 to 1, and I love it. The canopy is definitely ground hungry, fast turns and light front riser pressure. It has a lot longer of recovery arch than the original Crossfire a lot lighter riser pressure, in fact the canopy is so different in performance than the original Crossfire it is almost a completely different canopy. The openings are great, with brakes set it is definitely hip sensitive. I have in a short period of time got some really incredible swoops out of mine.

cpoxon 0 #8 November 5, 2002 Partial closing of canopy in turbulent atmospheric conditions Searching for this has also turned up that the Ninja was pitched as a less-extreme cross-braced canopy which may go to answer my question as to why another cross-braced wasn't being considered.
