skybytch 273 #2 January 10, 2002 Yeah, if you're considering an Icarus canopy, buy before the end of the month cuz prices are going up on all but Crossfires...pull and flare,lisa--life's a bitch.. and so am I Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimbo 0 #3 January 10, 2002 They've got to pay for all those relines and shipping somehow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #4 January 10, 2002 Nah, price increases are standard procedure in this industry. PD generally raises theirs once a year (usually in the spring); same with most of the container manufacturers. pull and flare,lisa--life's a bitch.. and so am I Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aviatrr 0 #5 January 10, 2002 Quote Yeah, if you're considering an Icarus canopy, buy before the end of the month cuz prices are going up on all but Crossfires... The Crossfire has a bad rap, so they're trying to recover from that......but considering the fact that the Crossfire tried to kill me, and the pathetic way that Icarus dealt with it, I will NEVER again own or jump an Icarus product..Plus, I think that the line trim change they are making on the Crossfire is like putting a bandaid on a severed appendage..Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreeZone 20 #11 January 10, 2002 Sis, I hope you are not considering a "Sadflair" or a Crossfire as your next canopy. If your sweetie is getting an FX or VX thats cool then.... I want to touch the sky, I want to fly so high ~ Sonique Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freaksister 0 #12 January 10, 2002 LOL He's looking at VX's...Why do you say not to look at safires?SisFear not your death - fear having not really lived. Willie Sinsel, KS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cptnstratn 0 #13 January 10, 2002 Also interested in why he said no to a Safire? I have one, brand new a couple of months ago, and absolutely love it. Awesome flair power. Great speed and responsiveness without being too twitchy. I have it loaded at about 1.4:1. It's a 149.Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #14 January 10, 2002 The Safire is a tricky canopy... you either get one that flys great, or one that is a bitch to land. There seems to be little in between area on it.I want to touch the sky, I want to fly so high ~ Sonique Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slowfaller 0 #15 January 10, 2002 A lot of people have commented on the lack of flair power. I used it for AFP and stood up most landings but the flare wasn't that great because my arms weren't long enough I guess to get the most out of it. Oh well, I considered buying one but didn't.CHris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #16 January 10, 2002 I was wrong; Crossfire prices are also increasing.Doh!pull and flare,lisa--life's a bitch.. and so am I Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think some people just are used to the PD way and (from what I've been told), Icarus' style of flaring is different.Yes?JumpinDuo.com...come and sign the guestbook.
