sundevil777 102 #2 July 11, 2013 I had the 7 cell 189 foil.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkwing 5 #3 July 12, 2013 I also had a 189 seven cell. It was an awesome canopy. I think it was the best flying canopy of its day. I also don't recall a five cell 180, but my memory isn't that reliable. -- Jeff My Skydiving History Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quagmirian 40 #4 July 12, 2013 This what you're looking for? NAA-3105 Five Cell Para-Foil: A 180 sq. ft ram-air canopy with flares measuring 13' by 15' with five double chordwise cells with crossports. Made of 1.6 oz. ripstop nylon and 900 lb. lines. Pilot chute controlled slider. Weight 13 lbs. First introduced to the market in 1976.

JerryBaumchen 1,373 #5 July 12, 2013 Hi Quag, QuoteNAA-3105 Five Cell Para-Foil: Nicely done, if I may say so. And for the gear nuts; this 5-cell used a larger/different air-foil rib than the original 189 7-cell did. This 5-cell rib then went on to become the larger Para-Foils that are used in accuracy today.
