diablopilot 2 #2 July 15, 2006 Got just a glance at pricing the other day...looks to be a lage margin higher than anything out on the market.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmsmith 1 #3 July 15, 2006 Many of the Icarus products are made in Spain, and the U.S. dollar is falling in value these days, so expect prices of foreign goods to rise. I just ordered a new Safire2 through Square1 a couple of days ago, and a 50% down payment locks in the price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pchapman 279 #4 July 17, 2006 Just as a quick comparison of prices, here are list prices from the latest Para-Gear catalogue. (I don't know how discounts might differ but list prices are a starting point.) PD Reserve (up to 160 size)...............$ 1180 Aerodyne Smart (all)...........................$ 949 Precision R-Max (128, varies by size)....$1108 Icarus Reserve (up to 169 size)............$1385 More briefly for less common reserves, of roughly similar sizes: Super Raven 135 $959 Strong Stellar 140 $1238 NAA Eagle 140 $1175 FCI Cricket 145 $1098 So the Icarus is top-of-the-line, at least in price...

johnny1488 1 #5 July 19, 2006 I have jumped the 119 and 189 reserves and they opened and flew beautufully. I do not yet have one for a reserve. Johnny --"This ain't no book club, we're all gonna die!" Mike Rome Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
