bob.dino 1 #1 October 18, 2006 From a Daedalus (ie Jim Slaton) mailout: QuoteNew Daedalus GLS XF! The evolution continues... Daedalus canopies now offers the "GLS XF" for those pilots wanting to get more from a non cross braced canopy before stepping up to the real thing. The GLS XF is an Extreme Crossfire with some of the same materials that we have on our top of the line competition wings like the JVX! The GLS XF has a crossfire shape and opens the same as the original Crossfire but is a hybrid with a sail material top skin plus HMA lines. The GLS XF can be used as an everyday canopy but is best used for both amateur swooping and ground launching! The GLS XF is already in use by skydivers wanting more swoop from their non cross braced canopy. If you want to know more about the advantages and benefits of sail material you can search the forums at canopypiloting.com or log onto daedaluscanopies.com We are proud to report that sail material not only lasts longer (resisting porosity) but holds the canopy's shape better allowing for more flight performance and a stronger flare. Pilots flying the GLS XF now are reporting fantastic openings and performance gains over most other non-crossbraced wings. Again, Daedalus canopies in New Zealand, not Icarus canopies in Spain, make the GLS XF. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ GLS XF The GLS XF comes with two HMA line sets and custom colors in ZP. Sail material is offered in Black, Blue, Red and White. Anyone know more? Anyone flown one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
