Default Factory T-Rex 700 canopies

Whats the deal. I see Alan and Jason in all the T-Rex ads. There is the standard blue white and silver canopy and even the yellow with the charcoal lightning bolts. How come the only one available is the gawd awful one with the glowing red nose. If it weren't for the red nose the stock yellow and blue one wouldn't be that bad. Short of going Canomod why is Align not offering more factory options for the 700 ????

They will be out eventually. The stock 700 canopies really arent that bad. I have the yellow with the orange nose and its not terrible. Very easy to see in the air.

I like my 700 canopy. Its seriously above par for a stock canopy. I would like the blue and white a bit better but i like my stock one just the way it is.

Come on, how can you not love this canopy? I love the shape, the paint job, and the way it shows up going fast backwards through the air!

I think the stock ones are but ugly, I like the 700 canopies that favor the synergy type,,

Colin,

Zak and myself like to have fun in both aspects of flying. Just like you. Remember when you almost flew into me flying at XFC?
