[airborne82nd 0]

anyone know anything about a typhoon canopy made in canada.

for its size it seems pretty fast. is it a sabre 2 clone ?? but it seems faster even know the aspect ration seems the same.

any info on this canopy and also it flares very deep more flare then a sabre 2 just my opinion.

anyone know any different??

we have a guy with a typhoon 150 at the dz. I believe it is a zp top and f111 bottom skin canopy. He does some pretty nice surfs with it. I even seen him hook it up backwards and land it twice that way! One of those windy day activities.

every single one i have seen has had major troubles either with the line set or the canopy is not cut properly. Each typhoon is diffrent cause of the way Chris Stevens makes his canopy.

this flys well i think its a copy of the sillohete by pd

it seems to be zp top skin and f111 bottom skin

it opens and packs like a dream it flys good but then the question you wouldnt want to load these things out to much.

the canada web site is terrible for the details of the typhoon

this is what they say

The TYPHOON has been designed for relative work enthusiasts wanting the ultimate canopy with incredible speed and excellent performance. When using this canopy you will experience a soft opening, flat gliding, light toggle pressure, extremely fast and easy to land all in one small pack volume.


The TYPHOON is made with zero porosity fabric (more efficient airfoil), tapered wing design, spectra lines, double cross porting, kill line sliders, and span wise reinforcement. This canopy is compatible with our GENESIS harness/container.

the typhoon has been around for years. if you are happy with it that is great. there is NO demand for them (just like a nice little Jonathan I have) so you probably will never be able to sell. No big deal if you did not spend much on it.
