Love my new Cobalt also!!!

Great friggin canopy. Cobalt 120 loaded at about 1.55. Openings are awesome. I can pack it to open as quick or slow as I choose. In flight it is responsive, quick, stable..just a joy to fly. The landings are sweet. Tons of flare. Glide ratio rocks with a touch of rear risers.
The steering lines are too short, I'll have to have those let out about 3 inches. But even with lines too short the canopy was still rock solid.
I was getting on the front risers quite a bit. I could see the tail of the canopy pulling down and yet the canopy remained stable. No breathing or bucking.

Atair delivered within the 6 to 8 weeks time slot (7), which was greatly appreciated. The plastic bag it came in had a cut in it, so I spent a few minutes looking over the canopy to see if it was also cut. The canopy was cool, no damage.

The only thing Atair did, which was an inconvenience, was when they sent me a 105 demo, it arrived without risers on it. At the time I was in Elsinore with my rig and my risers were sitting back at home in Chicagoland. Cost me $90.00 for a set of risers, but the smile on my face was still ear to ear.

Thank you Atair for a canopy that is all it is advertised to be. I look forward to getting a second rig to put put a 105 or a Comp 105 in.

I can't say that I have ever recieved a demo main that was already on risers from any company. Still, it pays to have an extra set laying around. You didn't have any buddies with any?

every canopy i have ever demo have had risers. this is new to me.

if fun were easy it wouldn't be worth having, right?

thanks for the review.

the hole in the plastic bag is because the factory sends a sheet to be filed by our office on every canopy. a finger is poked through the sealed bag to pull out the sheet. (mystery solved).

demos and risers: most all of our canopies are on risers, but because of demand we have increased our demo fleet. on these new canopies we are waiting for an order of rws risers to arrive. rather than have people wait some demo's were shiped without risers. sorry about the inconvience. lead times were shorter for some other brands of risers but we are partial to rws.

sincerely,

Risers are part of the container system, not the canopy.
