The Troll BASE canopy
Originally designed by Stane Krajnc, founder of Atair, in 1995 for his own use.
Stane utilized his experience in designing skydiving and paragliding canopies and reserves to make himself a fantastic BASE canopy.
The Troll is a low aspect ratio 7-cell canopy that is constructed of the highest quality materials and is heavily reinforced in crucial high load areas such as bridle attachment points and suspension lines.
This enables it to withstand the heavy demands of BASE-jumping.
The Troll’s unique aerofoil is slightly tapered on the upper surface.
This makes for a more efficient wing with less drag.
This tapering has no ill effect on opening heading in fact, the Troll usually has very consistent on-heading openinhgs.
Over the years, Stane has supplied Trolls to many of the world's leading BASE jumpers!!
MDV Technology
Stane is on the cutting edge of parachute design in general and this has become very clear with the introduction of MDV technology.
The valve system on the Troll is called Mono Directional Valve technology or MDV technology.
It is unique in that it is a zero-p tubular shaped funnel that is about 6" long. They are attached to mesh inlets on ribs 2, 3, 5 & 6.
This design allows the air to flow in during pressurization and also during deep brake decent, but the valve closes when air is rushing in from the nose or you have back pressure coming from the tail.
The Troll in its standard form is already a very stable canopy. The MDV Troll only offers more stability by increasing the range in which you can fly in deep brakes before you actually reach the stall point.
The Troll has a great flare in both its standard form and with the MDV technology.
As far as openings go... the MDV inlets have increased the speed in which the canopy pressurizes slider up as well as slider down.
Obviously, the true benefits to having inlets are for slider down jumps. Slider down, it offers single stage pressurization and slider up it opens a bit faster than the standard Troll.
If you are going to do many terminal jumps at a given time, it is advisable to switch sliders to a marquisette mesh (small hole mesh slider). This helps take the edge off of the opening without compromising consistency.
Sail sliders have been know to cause opening/heading inconsistencies on BASE jumps and we don't advise their usage.
MDV technology offers superior pressurization; giving the jumper control over the canopy immediately.
Ultimately greater control leads to greater confidence!!!
The Croatian Troll team consisting of Robert Pecnik and Nenad Pesut won several medals and awards using the Troll Base canopy.
The consistency of the Troll really does speak for itself!!
The Troll is available in five precisely scaled sizes:
* 185 ft.2 = PIA spec 200
* 205 ft.2 = PIA spec 219
* 225 ft.2 = PIA spec 240
* 245 ft.2 = PIA spec 260
* 265 ft.2 = PIA spec 282
* 285 ft.2 = PIA spec 301
* 305 ft.2 = PIA spec 322
Standard with each Troll:
* Integrated Primary-Stow tail pocket for safer low-speed deployments.
* Standard and custom deep brake settings.
* High visibility "contrasting" steering lines.
* Mesh Slider choice of large hole mesh / small hole mesh (Sail Slider available upon request. Advised for skydiving use only)
* Tail Gate Reefing Device (BR)
* Optional black lines available
