AirPilot 0 #1 May 31, 2009 How can I attach streamers to my canopy lines? How long can they be, what lines to attach them to, and how to pack them in the deployment bag? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brettski74 0 #2 May 31, 2009 Tension knots, anyone? I'm no rigger, but I'm thinking that attaching free-hanging streamers, string or anything of that nature to your lines is a recipe for trouble. I can see them potentially getting tangled in your suspension lines during deployment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hackish 8 #3 May 31, 2009 Given the chance for problems during deployment, maybe you could come up with a streamer that hooks to a D line and anchors to your slider. Attach it after deployment and since it's anchored by the slider it would not ride up the lines and could be detached should it cause a controlability problem.

shropshire 0 #4 May 31, 2009 1st ... why? 2nd how about attaching them to the top of the canopy so that they only deploy after the canopy. (.)Y(.) Chivalry is not dead; it only sleeps for want of work to do. - Jerome K Jerome Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
