\"Landing<\/p>\n

Aerodyne has released the Pilot7 \u2013 a 7-cell version of their popular all-round canopy, the Pilot.\u00a0The Pilot7 is much more than just a remarkable wingsuit canopy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Opens like a 7-cell and performs like a 9-cell ! <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

#Background<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The project started with some wingsuiters approaching Aerodyne saying they normally do either wingsuit skydiving or BASE proximity \u2013 so they wanted a 7-cell skydiving canopy that would perform more like the BASE canopy they jump. This would maximize the usefulness of their skydiving to their BASE activities. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

##BASE Skydiving Crossover<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So, Aerodyne began to create a 7-cell canopy that would allow these guys to jump something closer in performance to their base canopies. They developed a more responsive 7-cell that is quick, fun, has good riser input, and a flatter glide than you would expect from a 7-cell, and a powerful flare. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Because BASE canopies are larger than skydiving canopies, then the bigger they could make the new Pilot7, the more like BASE it would be. They developed a very low pack volume by using all their low pack volume toys \u2013\u00a0with their honeycomb fabric (ZPX) on top skin, side and stabilizers, and the ribs and bottom skin from FX-11 (the low pack volume material used in the SmartLPV), and ZLX lines. Aerodyne ended up with a canopy that would fit in your normal skydiving rig, but 2 sizes bigger than normal. This was exactly what the wingsuit BASE guys had asked for. This \u00fcber-low pack volume is called the UltraLPV build, and can be selected as an option, <\/p>\n

\"Soft,<\/p>\n

#All-round Applications<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As Aerodyne\u2019s test pilots jumped the new canopy, they started to see other uses for the Pilot7. One is for student transition canopies, it\u2019s a very flyable starter canopy for post-AFF before getting a more advanced wing. You can order it in UltraLPV build to go in your brand new rig, then you\u2019ve future-proofed your Icon by building in two possible downsizes later on. The more mature jumper who doesn\u2019t want to run off their landings any more \u2013 the 7-cell shuts down a lot sooner than a 9-cell, so less impact on the body, and if desired, the owner can upsize to an even gentler-landing canopy. The big-way skydiver who sometimes has to land downwind, and doesn\u2019t want to arrive in a cloud of dust! A market of very experienced jumpers who just like 7-cells – these guys will probably want a regular ZP canopy so it will fit in existing rig without them needing to upsize. A DZO with a small dropzone with a crosswind wanted 7-cells for his students to get into a tight area. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

#Wingsuiters <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yet, the wingsuiters it was developed for are the main market – these guys had a great time testing it out. The Pilot7 was launched at Flock and Dock, Zephyrhills, to a rave reception (see quotes below). The Pilot7 fits their needs, as it is has very consistent on-heading openings; this is why it is recommended to jump a 7-cell canopy when wingsuiting. <\/p>\n

\"Pilot-7\"<\/p>\n

\u201dFalling in love with the flight characteristics of the new Aerodyne \u202aPilot7\u202c… I got to fly this baby all throughout Flock’n’Dock and I kept asking them “can I keep it? can I keep it? pretty pleaaaaase, can I keep it? …. Seriously impressed with the amount of glide I was able to get out of the Pilot7 coming back from long (oopsie) spots – beyond what I expected to be possible on a 7-cell, all packaged together with the smoothest on-heading openings (despite the random body position shenanigans I routinely pull at break-off right before I pitch) and awesome flare power\u201d<\/em>
\nAndreea Olea<\/strong> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Whether I am flying in a 100way formation, with students or my friends, the last thing I want to have to worry about is what my main canopy will do when I open. The Pilot7 has proven to give me consistent great openings. It’s also fun to fly and handles well in all weather conditions.”<\/em>
\nEd Pawlowski<\/strong> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We have a bunch of 9-cell coverts really pleased with the Pilot-7, it's good on a long spot and has lots of flare.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

“Very nice on-heading openings. Initial snivel was nice also, little pop at the end. Riser response was very good on front and rears. I was able to get a nice little swoop on just a 90\u00b0 riser turn. But I was most impressed with the reaction on harness input. One jump I got into a cloud, twisted my hip and dropped a shoulder, with the result of a nice carve to come out, and got back to the DZ”<\/em>
\nSteve Waseman, Rigger, Chuting Star<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“The Pilot7 is a great canopy. It opens predictably and straight on heading, great for opening in a crowd. It stays up a long time, but flies fast enough to not cause anxiety on a windy day. It lands consistently soft and stops well. Even when you are learning how to handle the flare it puts you down soft and keeps your landing gear intact.”<\/em>
\nDr Bob Domeier<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“The Pilot7 brings the comfort of a normal canopy opening into a wingsuit canopy situation. With this canopy the worries for line twists too often or spinning canopies are history. I’ve never felt more comfortable about gear before.”<\/em>
\nEspen Fadnes, Advanced Wingsuit Pilot<\/strong> <\/p>\n
