    Send an email to UPT. They will tell you. They do have a tendency to overestimate how much canopy fits into their containers. But never by so much that an experienced rigger can't cope. If UPT says it's full, it will be. But it will fit.

    Honestly I look at the childish behaviour and broken two party system in the USA and I think the US is little more than a banana republic with nukes. The way the vast majority of Americans are unable to think beyond my party good, other party bad is sickening. It’s on both sides and it looks like a nation of sheep.

    Its a shame they can't sort there squabbles out and avoid confusion - Icarus , Xfire/Crossfire, SFire. Safire. Both NZA and Icarus World both make modern canopies of good quality - both of decent products/Customer service and I suspect that you are correct in that NZA does not manufacture the reserve. The designs for a lot of these canopies was done by NZA and licensed however I'm not sure about the reserve's whether than was the case - but certainly wasnt manufactured or marketed by NZA so this may well have been an Icarus only product. The whole Icarus story is too long to tell here - but even the original Icarus partnership/agreement involved Precision. I believe the split between the NZA/Icarus was what prompted the same name confusions.

    This is always fun. NZ Aerosports are the "designers and makers of Icarus canopies" as they state, yet but don't make the "Icarus Reserve" or the "Icarus Nano" as they are called on the Icarus World website, names that don't include the World part. The companies don't help in reducing the confusion.

    Hi tribe, The canopy in question is made by Icarus World, not NZ Aerosports. Just so someone does not mistake these two companies. The last that I knew, NZ Aerosports does not make a reserve canopy. http://icarusworld.net/ Jerry Baumchen

    Until you came along this was a thread devoted to documenting scumbag politicians of any party. You have turned it into a partisan insult-fest.

    Citizens United, it's as simple as that. The government must represent the long term interest of people first and corporations second. Disallowing corporations to be involved in campaign finance does not mean that their interests are not being met, they ARE because of the primary representation of citizens and the financial interests of those citizens. Right now legislators cannot afford to pay attention to anyone but high dollar donors because campaign finance dollars have gone through the roof. Take that money away and that special interest is diminished.

    The reason I was asking is because I am looking to buy one; they’re in my size range and the price is good for me and I narrowed down my choices to them. I’d like to try ‘em out but it’s just not possible for me and wanted input from y’all. I’m buying a reserve this week -finally.

    If you are saying they stood by their apology to the kids, then yes you are correct. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/covington-bishop-apologizes-to-covington-catholic-students-95095 https://www.theepochtimes.com/archdiocese-apologizes-for-hasty-statement-about-covington-students_2777900.html

    Oh come on Billy, it's obvious these kids are just a bunch of hateful punk teeangers! I mean they're wearing MAGA hats for Christ's sake! White ones too! And after Labor Day! Joan Rivers must be turning in her grave!
