freaksister 0 #2 February 27, 2001 A friend of mine has three high-performance canopies: two Vipers and a Stiletto. From what I understand, the Vipers are fully elliptical, not a Sabre copy. That is all I know.Good luck,Sis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ramon 0 #3 February 27, 2001 The Vipers were made by Atair in Europe and sold here by skydepot.They are fully eliptical high performance (not extreme, but will still mess you up if careless). They were made by the same people that made the Space and Alpha and are now producing the Cobalt.You can find used ones for a really good price, my buddy loads his up at about 1.9 (probably a little too high) and he gets nice surfs.bloo skies ramon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkymonkeyONE 4 #5 March 15, 2001 The Atair Viper, which is no longer produced, flew almost exactly like a Stiletto. I had a 150 for a while in my demo rig and loved it. It is a fully eliptical nine cell parachute. They came stock with kill-line sliders and pilot chutes. They are very easy to pack as they are made out of the non-slippery Gelvenor Textiles zero-p, just like a Triathalon, Cobalt, etc. Openings are sweet and on heading. Landings are every bit as sweet as a Stil. Like previously posted, you can get them for quite a bargain on the internet classifieds. Like the ones here, and at www.enclave.comGood luck!Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
