prost 0 #1 March 7, 2002 any one get their FX relined with HMA lines? I am coming up on a reline and was wondering if anyone else had tried it?William Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GroundZero 0 #2 March 8, 2002 (this answer was copied from "swooping" forum and the thread is growing there... you might want to follow it there...)Hi Prost,We have had numerous requests to reline the EXTreme FX and VX's with HMA line. Initially we asked that anyone interested contact Icarus Canopies with the request. Currently Icarus Canopies does not have any experience with HMA and therefore is not able to meet the requests. After the requests continued, we finally gave in... (We continue to service ALL canopies we manufactured...) Relining an EXTreme with HMA required a bit of additional engineering. First we had to develop a lineset with a trim to fit the dimensions of the canopy... We do have all of the data on the canopies, not only including the airfoil, but also the lineset data for the Vectran CASCADED lineset. Because the HMA we use is very small (160 kg vs. 580 lb. Vectran), we build HMA linesets in CONTINUOUS lines only. This maintains better lower surface shape. We also install our "Stabilrib" and include a new slider. THIS DOES NOT MAKE AN FX A XAOS-21, (OR A VX A XAOS-27). The Xaos canopies have significant differences in the airfoil. From our experience, there is very positive improvement. (But it still ain't a Xaos!)For costs, etc... contact me (or Beezy) at Precision... 423-949-4688or email... chris@precision.net or beezy@precision.net*Hey, I'm so sure you'll like it...
