Squeak 17 #4 March 28, 2012 it's a semi elliptical canopy (slight taper on tail) I have hundreds of jumps on a 150 Hornet and it's a standard progressive flareYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
likestojump 3 #5 March 28, 2012 I have always flared "normally" - no tricks, just like a Sabre. Jumped 120-190 sized ones with no issues. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #6 March 28, 2012 I would personally suggest pulling down on both of the toggles in a progressive fashion approximately twice your body height off the ground. I've seen other variations, some including some sort of front riser pull or releasing a single toggle during the process, but most of those techniques lack overall positive performance.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

But that's for Schleping, he was asking about flare.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
