Geoff 0 #1 March 26, 2001 Any riggers or parachute designers out there?Icarus are re-designing the brake configuration on the Safire to give a more powerful flare.So- what can they change?How about the length from the tail edge of the canopy to the cascade? How would that affect the flare?What about the spacing of the points where the 4 brake lines on each side are attached - could that make a difference, or are they always attached at the ribs?Any experts out there?ThanksGeoff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I, for one, am happy to see this. This thing has been a pain in the ass to land.-Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
