The FLiK is available in 6 sizes, 200, 220, 242, 266, 293, and 322 square feet. 'We are offering 2 sizes that are larger than the biggest FOX, ' reports Anne Helliwell. 'BASE has gone the opposite direction to skydiving, that has been growing with smaller, faster parachutes. With BASE, bigger is better. We can now outfit jumpers that are 200lbs and heavier.'
The FLiK has several design differences when compared to the FOX. The FLiK boasts a slightly higher aspect ratio of 2.04 to 1 (1.97 to 1 on the FOX).
The FLiK uses the same airfoil shape as the FOX. 'The FOX has been a great canopy for several years, we had no reason to simply ditch the information and performance of that airfoil', says Todd Shoebotham. The FLiK is it's own canopy, with new flight characteristics, including better glide and landings. It performs better than the FOX in every way except the slider off openings which feel the same, reports test jumper Dwain Weston, after numerous jumps on the FLiK 242.

Flik 293
Review by: travisjones, 2007-12-17
This is a awesome canopy. I currently have seventeen jumps on mine. Excellent openings everytime. Vents and Multi are a must. The canopy has very fast pressurization, and is very responsive to riser input. The canopy has awesome landings(once you get your flare right), and has good toggle control. The canopy has had perfect openings, the worst i have had is 45 right. This is an awesome canopy that i would recommend to anyone. Im buying a second rig shortly, and i am putting another Flik in it.

FLiK 266
Review by: extremeshannon, 2007-08-23
Love my FLiK 266 I jumped off the Perrine bridge this week. Marta was there with a student. I was in Miles D base camp. The FLiK 266 performed outstanding. Thanks for a great canopy.
