Non-Numerical Data, from DHV

If numbers don't excite you, try this:

take off handling average
roll damping slight
control travel average
agility average
spiral dive entry average
spiral dive exit turn continues through < 180 degrees
landing behavior average
B-line stall entry easy
B-line stall recovery spontaneous
big ears entry easy
big ears recovery spontaneous, quickly

All the above were recorded when this Icaro paraglider was flown at max weight.

Color Schemes

The simple graphics below represent the available color schemes for the Icaro Ice 2 XC. I hope this approach is useful for getting a good idea of the colors when quickly comparing wings. Most paragliders have a basic wing color plus something different adorning the leading edge. You might be able to get a detailed look at one of the color schemes from the manufacturer's picture further down this page.

white, black stripe, orange leading edge

white, black stripe, yellow leading edge

Manufacturer's Picture

What's this guy been doing - some wild acro over the water? Or maybe it's the latest Channel-crossing attempt. :-) Anyway, who took this pic of the Ice 2 XC canopy? Contact me to get due credit on this page!
