A Great Concept at a Great Price.

With a C-type (also known as the Concept) envelope you can combine the versatility of low cost, lightweight, semi-smooth gores (12 on the C-60 and C-80, 16 on the C-100) with the great performance of a Cameron. The Concept is ideal for fun-flying, training, competition, or for a small passenger operation. And the lowest-cost Cameron doesn’t translate into a compromise on quality. We’ve simply introduced more cost-effective designs that reduce fabric wastage — every component is Cameron quality throughout.
