Canopy Demos
We are happy to announce that Arcus Flight offers complimentary wingsuit canopy rentals with our wingsuit rentals and demos (all you pay is S&H!).
We have partnered with both Squirrel, makers of the Epicene Pro, Epicene Pro 2, and Omicron canopies, and Performance Designs, makers of the Horizon canopy, in an effort to offer you, our customers, the safest and most enjoyable wingsuit experience. Whether you’re brand new to wingsuiting and curious about what a wingsuit canopy has to offer, or whether you’ve been in the game a while but want to see what else is on the market to make your deployments and canopy experience after wingsuit flight as enjoyable as possible – we’ve got you covered.
If you are interested in demoing either the Epicene Pro or the Horizon, please request one with your wingsuit demo request (subject to availability). We also offer in person demos of the Omicron if you are visiting DeLand and already an experienced wingsuiter. Also, if you’re at Skydive DeLand and want to demo a suit and canopy while you’re in town, reach out and let us know what you’re interested in and when you’ll be around to fly.
From the Squirrel team:
The EPICENE PRO delivers the same consistent and reliable openings, with improved glide and flare performance.
The EPICENE series is the most popular choice among the world’s best wingsuit pilots, with a reputation for the best openings in wingsuit skydiving.
Since 2014 we have been listening to feedback from our team and our customers, and the EPICENE PRO is the result.
We believe the EPICENE concept is the future of wingsuit skydive parachute design, and some of the world’s best skydivers agree: Andy Farrington, Noah Bahnson, Mike Swanson, Luke Aikins, Jeffro Provenzano, Katie Hansen, Petter Jönsson, and the Squirrel Team all jump the EPICENE series by choice.
Arcus Flight currently carries the following sizes: 130, 150, 170, 190 sq. ft.

The latest model of the Epicene that Squirrel offers to purchase is the Epicene Pro 2. You can read more about that canopy here: https://squirrel.ws/parachutes/skydiving/epicene-pro2/
From the PD team:
After years of development, we are excited to introduce PD’s first wingsuit-specific canopy HORIZON. The Horizon is a low-bulk 7-cell main canopy designed to be an easy ‘off button’ to end your wingsuit flight with as little drama as possible. The emphasis for developing this canopy was on eliminating deployment problems caused by the burble of larger wingsuits, without sacrificing a great flare or responsive handling. In fact, we think the Horizon has the best stopping power of any canopy in its class. Best of all, the Horizon gives you the ability to upsize as many as two full sizes compared to a non-crossbraced ZP canopy main, meaning you can fit a larger canopy in your existing rig for wingsuit jumps. No need for a new container!
Arcus Flight currently carries the following sizes: 130, 150, 170, 190 sq. ft.
