Weird mal

the trailing edge of the canopy is flailing around a lot being that it has no lines to it



If the center C-D lines had an additional cascade attached to the trailing edge of the center cell (where it's free of steering lines), do you think it will subdue the tail inversion and its ill effects (lineovers and weird bridle wraps)? Just thinking. ;)

i believe it would. ir is a good. idea. of course, it would make these cascades become slack while the control lines are being pulled. right?

yeah, they will be tensioned very little in full flight and slack when steering lines are pulled. They can also cascade higher than slider grommets, to avoid thick knot at the cascade. The question is, will they really work? If they cascade too high, they won't prevent unpressurized tail go up. However, they still will reduce the extent to which the tail can go up, by the principle that the triangle's side is shorter than the sum of the two other sides.
