    Atair custom canopy rocks

    I just witnessed a jump on a new, low glide ratio / High lift canopy that Stane designed. The canopy responded immediately to input, turned in place via actually flying backwards on one side whilst the other side flew forward. The off heading and recovery looked more like a sashay. I am very impressed. It looked like the wingtips swapped and only sunk 4-5m in the manuver. Good one Stane! Respect!
    take care,

    I am not sure, It was a custom design for rocky landing areas almost directly beneath the exit point. IŽll see if i can get a vid posted. It may take a few days. Till then,

    yes. a friends canopy has currently still not materialized and was promised before bridge day.

    it really sucks when you're counting on the times advertised and then you get no word at all when it will be done or why it will be late.

    Re: Atair custom canopy rocks

    ok so as usual, i got it a bit wrong. the canopy seems to be running a week or two late... but it was not "promised" for bridge day. i apologize for the misquote.

    either way, late is late... and that sucks. but, i do like their canopies. mine came on time for the record, but that was a few years ago.
