Hop 330 tandem canopy ?

Recommended Posts

Great openings, very-light toggle pressure, fantastic swoop landings, inexpensive.



Chuck,

I went to their site and there isn't much info on the canopy. Do you know if they make something like a 360-370sq ft ranged tandem canopy? Do you know if they have a demo program?

there are abot 10 of them at our work and 10's of thousands of jumps have been made on them.

i am not a t.i. but i am a camera guy so i guess i get to 'see' thier performance alot.

they have great openings and terrific landings there is no need for a larger one as they have a very efficient design. the end cells are closed like a paraglider and they look much like a small paraglider. in fact i think the company that makes them makes paragliders.

they seem to 'not' collapse but the end cells kinda flip under in turbulance, i have seen this on many occasions but they never seem to 'drop' they just keep on flying.

the linesets seem to be different every time though thid doesn't seem to effect the performance too much.

they have two brake lines and one is stowed on the risers and one is stowed in the canopy (like a set 400) thery seem to last a long time too because none of them have had to be replaced.

some t.i. out surf some of the camera guys on them. they land very well.

we have a couple of rigs with E.Z.'s in them and they just stay on the shelf.

they 'do' have demo canopy's you have to find you local dealer!

hope i was of assistance
