Martini 0 #1 August 20, 2005 Does anyone have a comparative opinion on these canopies (loaded at around 2:1) I'm thinking of checking out the FX 88, I've got a Xaos-21 98. I'd rather have the Xaos 27 but the FX is cheap/used. i've done a search but didn't find much.Sometimes you eat the bear.............. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Widgeon 0 #2 August 22, 2005 You should contact Beezy Shaw at HiPer. He has spent alot of time in the past with both of these canopies and could probably give you a very good comparison of the two. His contact info is on the HiPer website. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chachi 0 #3 August 22, 2005 i think the x mod makes these canopies identical? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TALONSKY 0 #4 August 22, 2005 It is my understanding that the X-mod helps with the rather hard opennings the FX has and makes them have some better flight characteristics but they are different even an X-mod FX is not a Xaos 21 because the plan forms are a little different.

Spizzzarko 0 #5 August 22, 2005 I had an FX 104, and it opened great. I never got slammed on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Martini 0 #6 August 23, 2005 Thanks for the info. I decided to pass on the FX for several reasons though and spend the bucks upgrading my wingsuit canopy.Sometimes you eat the bear.............. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
