freeflyfree

I found this thread here

Hi, Is premature line wear, from the slider flapping by the connector links, an issue with smaller wings? I just got a new canopy with blue lines and I'm starting to see the color fading about 4 inches from the slinks. I found this video

I've seen a Tandem Rig, the construction is well done, if that model you saw is freefly friendly, then I guess you're fine. One thing to have in mind and is very important, is customer service, how fast can you have your requests attended to, replacement parts, free bags, reserve pilot chutes, etc. Spain has a distribuitor: Miguel García [email protected] ParaAvis doesn't bother with the North American market so that's why is hard to find info here. You will have more luck I guess in European Skydiving Forums. Do you have pictures of the container? Let's see it, post them here! Blue skies

So, Icarus world ended up producing a new wing. Fluid Wings had something (Tesla) and then there's no more info...The Echo seems to be th the new proposition... -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."

Took me a year to just try it, and I was a waiter at a country french restaurant...They also sold frog legs...I'll stick with frog legs before Snails... -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."

Yes, in the end they all have stabilizers, be it a single fabric or inflatable. My friend tried the nexus...super strong flare. I tried the Tesla. Best thing is to order a Demo and explore it's flying characteristics. -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."

One thing to note is the sensitivity to your position in the harness...if you lean to one side, the canopy will start turning. It doesn't have stabilizers. if you have one strap looser than the other one the Nexus will have a "Built in turn" during your flight. This is true with any canopy, but more so with the Nexus. -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."

Pull Out with the pud at the bottom of the pilot chute? or at the top (apex)...mine is at the top...I reach full arm extension and then release... -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."

Sorry, nothing to do with performance, both are great wings with similar characteristics that come with the type of planform both use. It's just a mere subjective appreciation. I had to adjust the brakes on the X-fire in order for it to flare better, until I did that the toggle stroke was very long and I found myself a whole weekend comparing it to the Tesla. Which flew awesome the first time. I think this is the reason why I said that... The next weekend when I adjusted the brakes, I felt much better under the X-fire, and the wing performed great. I would be super happy owning any of these wings. Now, Fluid Wings is local, not a huge company like PD or Icarus, my friends fly their canopies and I like them. This also plays part on how I feel about the Tesla. Felipe -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."
