Blue is nice.
Pink is "WHOA DUDE!" (not my choice of colors)

Hey Dan,

The Onyx seems to have a really short line set. Just wondering what your reasoning was for this?

[Jimbo 0]

Good question. Isn't it generally accepted that a longer line set means a longer recovery arc?

I'm very interested to see how it flys compared to the other x-braces out there. Is it's distance as competitive, is it better, is it worse? All these things will be answered in time I'm sure.

I think I'd rather see companies try and be innovative and fail (relative term, I'm sure they always learn sometime) than not try at all.

It'll be interesting to see how it performs over the next few months.

It's so you can reach up and throw the pilot chute off if it ends up over the nose. j/k. Yeah, it's nutty how the canopy seems to be just right on top.

the pink is an 85 and the aqua a 95

the important thing to look at in the pictures is the nose. the canopy has lower spanwise distortion than any other canopy, and what i am most proud of is that the nose is fully tensioned and stays formed even in high speed flight. it does not dimple in from the pressure of the on coming wind as happens on all other formed nose canopies. this makes for a higher efficiency wing.

i am excited to see what all you swoopa-stars will do with them in competition this year.

any demo availability yet? I'm sure a lot of pilots would be willing to demo and eventually purchase one if they fly as advertised -me included.


put me on the list for a 115

I have to admit, the aspect ratio is wide as f*¢k and the nose is very solid.

the line set proportions are the same as cobalts. perhaps they just look short from the angle ofthe picture.

Ian,
I actually got to jump a 75 a couple of weeks back and although it opened in line twist, it opened better than any Cobalt I've jumped. The spot wasn't good, so I wasn't able to really hook it but the owner jumped my Xaos 27-79 and thought that it flew much better than the Onyx! The Onyx packs up really small compared to my Xaos 27 which packs like a 120. The Onyx looked like 99 when packed.

Good job on the misquote.
I did say it flew good but not better than my onyx.
Good try Conway.

Sorry Brian, my misunderstanding. I did say it was the nicest opening Cobalt I ever jumped.

[IMGR2 0]

Thanks for misspelling my name too.

And its an Onyx, not a cobalt. hehe

[jumperconway 0]

sorry Nanyrb, It was still the best opening Tlaboc that I've jumped!

Hey! who stole my color scheme on the pink! Throw some neon green in there or a touch of purple and you got a nice looking canopy.

is that brandon under the pink onyx? congrats thats a sharp looking canopy, if it flies as good as she looks well be seeing alot of them

[Brains 2]

Finally got my pics of the Onyx 75 done. Only one turned out halfway good. I am not the photog that Dan is obviously. Of course my subject leaves a lot to be desired also.

nice pic, little better color patterns then the pink ones. did the pilot say how it has been flying? have you seen some good shreds under that thing?

I just stand there and take pics man, i am in no way qualified to answer that. I fly a skybarge compared to that thing. Ask him, he posted to this thread already. The pic is of IMGR2
