MikeFB2764 0 #2 November 17, 2003 The Clipper is manufactured by Flight Concepts (previously Glide Path Intl.) There is not all that much information on their web site, but it can be found at : http://www.flightconcepts.com/9cell.html The Clipper is a 9 cell square canopy with an area of 195 sqft. It is listed as having a max suspended weight of 215 lbs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arlo 0 #4 November 17, 2003 the clipper is also made of F-111 versus zero-porosity fabric. i wouldn't jump this canopy if i weighed more than 170 pounds. otherwise, there's nothing wrong with 'em...except that it's F-111. blues, arlo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johan 0 #6 November 18, 2003 Clipper is the worst parachute I've ever jumped. I bought one 91 and had it fore aprox 200 jumps when I finally tried a Sabre I experienced revolution and never jumped Clipper again. Very bad glide and even worse flair. It's like the first step from a round parachute and should be banned I think. Show life respect, in every aspect... Dont kill the fly... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
