Main canopy failure to fully inflate

Recommended Posts

Quote

To get the canopy fully inflated just pull down on the rear risers and it will inflate the center. I have no idea my Xaos opens this way on occasions but the way I deal with it is I pack leaving the center three cells exposed with no slider infront of them and put the other three cells each side back so only the center three are exposed.



Bingo.

Did he ever collapse and pull down the slider?
It looks almost like its holding the lines together.

p.s.

Did he ever unstow the brakes?



Whicked-good question! If the break lines were radically too short.... wouldn't your canopy look like the first pic? And if your breake lines were radically too short AND stowed AND you pulled down on your front risers, wouldn't your canopy look like the second pic?
