sight_burner 0 #1 February 18, 2005 I was looking at this pic on the new icarusNZ sight and this caught my eye. The "in development" JSX looks to have Z bracing incorporated in the canopy. Well I don't know if this is just me but this wing doesn't look like your average X brace. any thots Andrew. I don't care about fame I just want people to know my name qote ( Andrew Cebuhar) the thread is dead Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #2 February 18, 2005 Please learn to search! There has already been a couple very lengthy threads about this, including posts from people like Jim Slaton who knows whats going on with Icarus to say the least.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Jim Slaton allready said he wouldn't comment on the canopy because it was still in development and again the search was no help but the question was is or is this in your opinion z bracing I don't care about fame I just want people to know my name qote ( Andrew Cebuhar) the thread is dead Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
superstu 0 #5 February 18, 2005 I don't know if this is exactly "z" bracing, however it is apparent that it is "different" bracing. No stablizers, thiner profile, different xbracing, and longer lines, looks like a pretty mean canopy to me. you guys watch the videos on this canopy and the jvx? cool sstuffSlip Stream Air Sports Do not go softly, do not go quietly, never back down Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #6 February 18, 2005 So if you've read the other two threads, why did you start a new one instead of adding to the threads?--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diver123 0 #9 February 18, 2005 Please learn to relax... Asking a question is a query just like running a search. The only difference is that humans typically respond... Last I checked this was an open forum where you ARE allowed to ask any question you like related to the forum category... "pull high! It's lower than you think..."

AggieDave 6 #12 February 19, 2005 Quote Please learn to relax... Asking a question is a query just like running a search. Fine, do what you want, now go through the rest of the forums and read the rest of the threads that he's started new threads rehashing old threads that were discussed to their fullest. The point here was to try to help this guy understand that if he searches the forums, he'll find the answers to his questions very easily and quickly with many folks that are experts in their fields. Such as Jim Slaton with an Icarus canopy, Bill Booth with RSLs and gear, Kelly...well, the list could go on for a while, so I'm sure that yall will get the point. Why should the folks that are the experts in their fields such as those listed, be asked to re-explain what has already been explained previously simply because someone is too lazy to use a simple feature like a search every time someone new decides to log on to the site? Infact HH and the moderators of the site on numerous occasions have simply said to search for your answers and save repeating threads numerous times as well as adding a question or comment to a thread instead of starting new ones.

sight_burner 0 #16 February 19, 2005 Ok and thats how we hijack a thread. guys the forum is here for a reason. The point is this was not a repost of anykind and it was not discussed anywhere else. It was a specific question for your personal opinion on that question nothing else. So if you have nothing to say with regard to the question then please just p.m me and save some space on the net.

psychonitro 0 #18 February 23, 2005 From what I just read in the news section while this jsx is 45 cells the PD's Zbraced canopy will be 35. So PD keeps relying on the 7 cell platform, will this choice be winning? Time will tell us. A little question as besides: what about the onyx? shouldn't it outswoop today's Xbraced canopies? Someone got any clue 'bout it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brains 2 #19 February 23, 2005 QuoteA little question as besides: what about the onyx? shouldn't it outswoop today's Xbraced canopies? Someone got any clue 'bout it? I have seen one fly, haven't jumped it and don't want to. (Not ready for x-braced canopy yet) It is fast as hell, but not much distance out of it. REGULARLY outswooped by Velo's.

SkymonkeyONE 4 #20 February 24, 2005 QuoteSo if you've read the other two threads, why did you start a new one instead of adding to the threads? Starting pissing contests in topical forums is pointless, particularly when the initial thread drift was caused by your first post berating the original poster. Everyone, please remember that the point of starting and perpetuating threads is to relay information on the topic at hand. Keep the one-liners out and please refrain from hijacking threads.

mags 0 #21 February 25, 2005 Not that anyone asked, but perhaps this guy has spent too much time online...... Aggiedave, I remember when you were practically a wuffo and you were so humble and courteous on this site.........Now you have some jumps under your belt (and no doubt more hours on the this forum than jumps) and your beating up on some guy for asking a question?? You need to relax......and decide what you like more......skydiving or bowing out your electronic chest........ thats why I don't come to this site anymore.......this kind of shit sucks.... Happy jumping all........ Thanks Chuck, for putting this into perspective........get in touch with me when you get a chance.
