The Dragon is a state of the art tapered 7-cell canopy that has been designed for a range of experience levels. With a light wing loading
the Dragon makes a great first canopy, with a higher wing loading the Dragon will satisfy experienced jumpers, especially professional
skydivers and video men.

The Dragon is easy to fly & pack, with soft openings, good speed range, low front riser pressure and long powerful flare. The Dragon can be
flown conservatively and lands easily even on straight in approaches but it can also be flown aggressively and offers nice swoops.The Dragon
was created using specialised computer software for designing and analysing low speed airfoils and wings.

The 3D wing design is transfered into 2D top and bottom panels and ribs. Using Advanced Technology AIR foil shaping methods, it is possible to obtain a
parachute wing which has desired airfoil shape over the whole wing span not only at the ribs. High grade zero porosity fabric and top class manufacturing guarantee a canopy that performs excellently and will keep doing so for many hundreds of flights.

Soft opening, reactive on toggles, easy to pack

Heavy toggle input, poor flare power

The canopy is one of the easiest canopies I have ever packed (and it was a 210 size), when deploying it is quite soft, but it tends to turn so it's best to be prepared for a little "deployment flying". In flight the toggle pressure is quite high which I didn't like and I immedietly noticed the lack of flare compared to a 9-cell canopy. It also sinks much faster. The profile was stable even in turbulent winds and it kept flying on heading. In no wind, landings are not the best out there. The canopy is quite steep and you really have to go full arm stretch to perform a soft landing in those conditions... never much running, just prepare your knees and ankles for that thud. So all in all not bad, but I would rather buy some other canopy if I had to choose. She's not my type ;)
