Mattbs4e 0 #1 February 15, 2003 A few of you mentioned the new design Atair is coming out with for the Colbalt. Any word on when that will be out? I hate to repeat what happened with a Crossfire I bought, only to have it recalled a few months later, and then have them make a completly better canopy under the name of Crossfire2 after that. So if anyone has any inside knowledge on Atair's release date for their "Colbalt2," it would be much appreciatted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skygod7777 0 #3 February 16, 2003 Quotemy inside info says around march. is your instide info talking about the onyx?? or something else?? cause at PIA, dan and eric were telling me they had new onyx that had lighter front riser pressure. that they had soo much weight on the front, the c and d lines were bowed out. later Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rgoper 0 #4 February 16, 2003 Quoteis your instide info talking about the onyx?? or something else?? this is strictly related to the 170^2 canopy. there have been many reports of opening problems with the existing 170^2 canopy. the new 170^2 will have a nose mod and may be shaped slightly differently. leave a margin of error in my comments, but they come straight from Atair.--Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnny1488 1 #5 February 16, 2003 The crossfire was made long before the recall and was well received. The recall effected certain canopies from "certain" factories. The crossfire2 was designed to take the current design to the next level, not to fix some problem with the old one. Johnny --"This ain't no book club, we're all gonna die!"

cobaltdan 0 #6 February 17, 2003 the direct scoop: no such thing as a cobalt 2. the new design was either the onyx or just confusion because we agreed to produce comp cobalts in larger sizes (suitable for lower skill levels) 135-150-170 the standard cobalt is definitely our biggest seller. it is an awesome canopy and imo outshines anything else in its class. introduced at the pia show was our onyx 36 cell, our ruby and indigo. the indigo is a slightly less agressive planform canopy based on the cobalt airfoil available in sizes 135-190 the ruby is a 7 cell canopy also based on the cobalt airfoil. available sizes 120-190 web site is currently being up dated and should have new information in several weeks. we are behind on the site as we have a huge amount of military work which has taken precedence. sincerely, dan<><> atair aerodynamics www.extremefly.comDaniel Preston <><> atairaerodynamics.com (sport) atairaerospace.com (military) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattbs4e 0 #7 February 17, 2003 When will the Indigo be out? Can tell me anymore about that canopy? How it differs from the original Colbalt? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cobaltdan 0 #8 February 17, 2003 it is simply slightly less tapered than the cobalt, otherwise same proven airfoil and trim. we should have our demo fleet completed by end of april. sincerely, dan<><>Daniel Preston <><> atairaerodynamics.com (sport) atairaerospace.com (military) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
