Crossfire 3 129

The JYRO (formerly Icarus Canopies) Crossfire 3 129 is a high-performance, fully elliptical 9-cell skydiving canopy. It is designed for intermediate to advanced pilots who want a dynamic, fun wing without the complexity of a cross-braced design.

Key Specifications
Size: 129 square feet.

Design: Fully elliptical with 9 cells.

Fabric: All Zero Porosity (ZP) fabric.

Lines: Typically Vectran or Spectra.

Characteristics: Known for smooth, reliable openings, a longer recovery arc, and a powerful flare.

Performance & Handling
Wing Loading:

Docile/Intermediate: 1.0 – 1.4 lbs/sq ft for confident intermediate pilots.

Maximum Performance: 1.5 – 2.0 lbs/sq ft for experienced pilots.

Flight Feel: Responsive and predictable, with light front riser pressure compared to earlier models.

The Dive: Features a more aggressive dive and a significantly longer recovery arc than the Crossfire 2.

Openings: Retains the “sweet spot” of the Crossfire 2, providing consistently soft, on-heading deployments.

Pilot Recommendations
Experience Level: Recommended for pilots with a minimum of 200–500 jumps on square or semi-elliptical canopies before transitioning to the Crossfire 3.

Transitioning: Pilots coming from a Safire or Crossfire 2 should be prepared for the longer recovery arc, as turning at the same height may result in coming out too low.

Availability & Pricing
New Price: Typically retails around $3,090 USD (~4,670 CAD).

Used Market: Occasionally available through second-hand skydiving gear sites like Canada skydive gear.
