yoink 321 #1 January 15, 2004 I've seen a couple of videos with people tracking in a T position or whatever you call it - I think Phreezone was doing it on his year end one? Is this a more efficient position or just more stable? And is there a knack to it that I should know about? Cheers Will Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twnsnd 1 #6 January 15, 2004 It keeps your descent rate more shallow. It is my favorite way to fly in a tracking dive. -We are the Swoophaters. We have travelled back in time to hate on your swoops.- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you be a bit more specific? Are you referring to a shallow glide angle, or a low rate of descent?... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Remster 24 #8 January 16, 2004 Its the not most efficient way to track, but if you have a tendency to sink this position probably will help you on that respect. I find its a good way to start a track without nosediving at the start of it.Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 562 #9 January 16, 2004 Iron cross is a slow-falling variation on tracking. I mainly use it when I have to cover a lot of distance towards a slow-falling formation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
