Faicon9493 114 #1 Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) I have a fairly new main pilot chute (with kill line) that twists up on a regular basis after deployment. What causes this and is there a fix for it, short of getting a new one? It works fine but annoying after landing.

mark 102 #2 October 10, 2019 When the pilot chute is collapsed, how much kill line is there between where it is tied to the base of the handle and where the line disappears inside the bridle? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sundevil777 93 #3 October 11, 2019 It may be that the kill line is too long, so it isn't collapsing enough, allowing it to grab enough air to twist. That is the theory anyway that some will propose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
