1000+ jumps on my Icarus Extreme FX 66

wing loading: 1.9
max. vertical speed: 143km/h
average packing: 6minutes
mulfunctions: 0

I had a lot of fun with my canopy, a lot of nice openings, and I caused a lot attention at every dropzone where I didn´t jump with this canopy before.

Typical talk on the dropzone:

Inquiring: What canopy do you jump?
Rosina: Icarus
Inquiring: What size?
Rosina: 66
Inquiring: I mean the size...
Rosina: 66
Inquiring: square feet?
Rosina: sixty-six

 

Couple of weeks ago someone asked me how many jumps do I have on it and I realized: I missed the 1000 anniversary of my canopy! I did already more than 1300 jumps.

Many people asked me to try my canopy, I certainly refused. The only one who flew my canopy except for me was Luigi Cani, who did one jump on it during our coaching.

I want to thank to my canopy for all the nice openings and all the nice flights! During all of those 1300 jumps I didnt have any bad openings, every once in a while a little line twist appeared, but it was always soluble ;)
