Custom Safire2 main canopy by NZ Aerosports. Includes soft links from NZ Aerosports.
In 1998 the original Icarus Safire was released. It was the first all purpose 9 cell canopy to include a lightly & truly elliptical planform shape offering superior openings and flight characteristics compared to competing mid-performance 9 cell designs at the time.
The Safire 2 is an enhanced version integrating new trim and plan form shaping techniques offering an increased glide ratio, more responsive flight controls both on toggles and risers, a more powerful flare and a shorter recovery arc making the canopy even more predictable.
Recommended for wing loadings from .75 PSF to 1.6 PSF. Standard sizes: 99, 109, 119, 129, 139, 149, 169, 189, 209 and 229.
Note size and/or stock identifier. For custom colors, submit your custom order form via e-mail to gear@chutingstar.com or fax at 770-445-4099.

Who doesn't love this canopy?Quality Price Durability
As someone on dz.com put it (paraphrased): you can sit and drink a cup of tea while you wait for it to open. It's been a great canopy to learn on, and chutingstar.com and N Z Aerosports were both very helpful and patient with my newbie questions and customer service. As a side note, delivery was on time from ChutingStar and N Z Aerosports as quoted, but American customs held it a few days due to "an insufficient description" of the package, so you may want to make sure NZ clearly describes the boxes contents as nylon and strings (or whatever the specifics are)...
