Details: The lightly tapered nine cell Silhouette is designed to provide
responsive handling, even at lower wing loadings often preferred by more
conservative pilots. Due to the combination of fabrics used in the
Silhouette it is easy to pack, provides consistent openings with a short
snivel, and more than ample flare power. The Silhouette is a good
choice for those seeking a canopy that is practical yet fun to fly.
