BETO74 0 #1 April 15, 2003 I just got a Crossfire 159 and it needs a new set of lines, A friend gave me Skyworks phone number but Marc does not answer the phone. Can anybody help? my guess is any master rigger can do it but I heard Skyworks do all Icarus Canopies and this crossfire is modified. Safe landings is a MUST!!!http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The one thing I dont like about Icarus is they wont release line trim, and spec's. So if you want a reline you have to go through them, also It is my understanding that they wont do the reline themselves, they refere you to a qualified loft that they have given the specs. Even if you buy a line set from them they wont let you know the length's so you have to trust the line set and hope it is right. Ray Small and fast what every girl dreams of!

Canuck 0 #6 April 15, 2003 I contacted Simon at Icarus, and he sent me a full specs sheet for my Crossfire 119 right away - he was really good about it. Previous to that, I tried to get the info from a dude named Mel at Skyworks, but after a bunch of hounding, the best I got from him were the specs for the lower control lines. I can understand why they don't just give this info out to anybody though. Do you have a master rigger friend who could call and ask for you?

masterrigger1 2 #7 April 16, 2003 Hey Guys, Let me explain a couple of points, hopefully covering some of the concerns and questions about Icarus Canopies and the servicing of them by Skyworks Parachute Service. We do give out final measurents for the linesets if they are asked for by the Master Rigger that hopefully installed them or any other person wanting to inspect a canopy for proper trim. We will not give out complete measurements for line manufacturing simply for the fear of someone possibly improperly manufacturing them. This is a common practice that most all canopy manufacturer's have and seem to follow very closely. We have given some information to certain individuals to whom we know to have the knowledge,skills, and equipment needed to properly rig a canopy. As far as contacting us, please call with any questions @ 803-377-2705 between the hours of 8:00 - 5:00 EST Thanks, MEL Mark E.
