hoyt 0 #1 October 21, 2005 Who makes accuracy canopies. Which one does the Golden Knights use today. What is the name of some of the better accuracy canopies made today and who makes them. Thanks for any help you could give me. Every day is a great day, some are just a little better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GKs know how to dress for success. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #6 October 23, 2005 QuoteParafoil is the only way to go for accuracy. At least half the jumpers doing accuracy at the National Competition use the Eiff Classic. Therefore, it's not "the only way to go". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dragon2 2 #9 October 23, 2005 QuoteWhat makes a good accuracy canopy? What qualities? AFAIK, big low-aspect 7 cell, very big (high cells, flown at a low WL, good at slow flight and very good at sinking. IE the Classic has holes in the bottom skin to keep it inflated. In fact, sorta like BASE canopies only accuracy canopies probably open a bit better. ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
