How slow can Crossfire fly ?

[Vlad 0]

How slow can a Crossfire loaded~ 1.5 fly above the ground without stalling ? How fast can it be stopped ? I used to fly a Diablo loaded slightly less than that. Now, I'm switching to a crossfire. I could land my Diablo really slow and stop it in an instant if I needed to. How will it be with a Crossfire ?

The Crossfire has a lot of low speed lift. You should be able to bring it to almost a complete stop with proper technique. I have jumped every size of Crossfire from 149 to 99 or 1.6 to 2.4.

The crossfire won't shut down as quickly but it will completely stop.. I'm at 1.7 and don't have a problem on my crossfire.

Have you ? That's funny, since "As with all our canopies the Crossfire is available in any size you choose." (quote from http://www.icaruscanopies.com/canopies/Crossfire/).

Ok, you propably meant "every standard size". ;)

Crossfire’s are very popular at my DZ. There was a demo 149,129,and 109 there. I own a 119 (but I don't jump it anymore as I have two FX99's) and the others were borrowed canopies just so I could jump that size as well. I liked them all. I would probably still be jumping crossfire’s except I got unbelievable deals on these FX's.

I've flown crossfires loaded from 1.5:1 to 1.9:1 and had no problems landing with out having to run it out.
