NWPoul 1 #1 June 20, 2005 Hi everyone, I need some help related to canopy identification There is a Crossfire which was claimed as Crossfire2 but there is no "Crossfire2" caption on it. How can I determine that it is actually xfire2? any advise? Thanks in advance...Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ps5601 0 #4 June 20, 2005 All crossfires made now are crossfire2, so if it's fairly new it's a crossfire2, however Icarus don't bother to put the "2" on the label. Your best bet if you want to be sure is to check the serial number with Icarus and see what they say. Blue skies Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piisfish 140 #5 June 20, 2005 must check on my crossfire. I know that on my Safire the orange label shows safire2 139... I have no side label on it. In my view, the orange label provides info (as complete as possible), the side label is advertising.scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWPoul 1 #6 June 20, 2005 The side label show "Crossfire" on it, the warning label actually indicated crossfire2 but some guys here think that label can be forged... Check the serial# with Icarus - good Idea, but I wondering if there is some sign in design of the canopy which allow to determine the xfire2?Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?

Adding a 2 on the label is easy. Changing the year of manufacturing might be more visible... I Wouldn't be able to tell the difference in design.scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Professor 0 #10 June 20, 2005 Try looking at the nose. The XF1 has a 'heart' shaped inlet, the XF2 is more diamond or 'eye' shaped. Other than that, you might be able to get trim specs on both from icarus, and measure them, but that sure is a pain in the ass. Ted Like a giddy school girl.

bob.dino 1 #11 June 20, 2005 Check the serial number with Icarus. To pass a XF1 off as an XF2, they'd need the serial number for an XF2 of the same size with the exact same colours. Tricky to find. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flow 1 #12 June 21, 2005 Crossfire1 has 5 D-lines on each side while Crossfire2 has 4. (I could remember wrong though). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

masterrigger1 2 #14 June 23, 2005 Actually It (Crossfire 2) only has 6 "D" lines total, 3 on each side. You can call me with the Serial Number and I can also give you further Info.
