skydivinmartin 0 #5 November 28, 2002 I thought their were two alpha canopies. The Icarus Alpha, and the Atair Alpha. The latter was made with Gelvenor ZP and their was a 134 model - not the same as the Icarus, although both are 9 cell ellipticals. I saw an Icarus Alpha a few years ago, and it was not made of Gelvenor. Anyone know? Martin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreeZone 20 #9 November 29, 2002 Well.... the Alpha is the same canopy as the Space which is a early Cobalt. Icarus (NZ Aerosports) made one early on before they started selling canopies really aggressivly in America.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skygod7777 0 #10 November 29, 2002 ok, i knew about the space and alpha. they are the same people who used to make the viper, kiss, and V.I.P that were all the same. they were sold by skydepot. my dad used to be a dealer. i had no idea about the NZ Aerosports Alpha. but what your saying is the NZ Aerosports one is no longer in production. later Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skygod7777 0 #11 November 29, 2002 oh, i forgot, i also think that the alpha and space are also the same canopy as the ones i mentioned above. but i don't know this for a fact. later Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
