Default Type 5 Wing

Type 5 wing – The parachute canopy is detailed showing 7 panel sections. This wing has ‘daisy chain’ style stitching shroud lines that start at the outer edge of the canopy and work their way down evenly to the Maple Leaf. The canopy itself has a high peak or egg shape top. The dull bronze /gold Maple Leaf itself extends below the actual wings. The Maple Leaf is proportioned and appears to be a fuller version. The actual stem of the Maple Leaf extends below curving slightly to the right.

The wings themselves have a nice gradual but pronounced curve up to the outer tips. When you start at the outer tips and work your way down to the Maple Leaf, the sections are well defined and have gradual steps at each section. The background material appears to be black. The reverse side material is a fine black fabric. The canopy and shroud lines are white while the wings are different in colour, being ‘off white’ in appearance.
