freeflir29 0 #1 October 7, 2002 OK...so I have something like ~150-170 jumps on my Stilletto. Well....in the begining I didn't put a lot of thought into harness inputs. Mainly because it's a 170 and I really hadn't considered the fact that the harness could have such a large effect on such a big parachute. Until recently I have just been concentrating on proper riser inputs. Well, I discovered just how wrong I was this weekend. I have found that once I am in the corner, if I drop my inside leg a little I seem to pick up A LOT more speed. What confuses me about this is that it doesn't seem to increase the turn at all. It just seems that I go faster all of a sudden. What's happening here? Is it just that I'm holding the same turn slightly longer or is it that the harness input is causing something of a "double fronts" effect? Whatever it is....I like it. Far less physical work and VERY smooth recovery with even more speed than usual. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobsoutar 0 #2 October 8, 2002 Not sure of the reason, perhaps it just sets you up better for the angle that the canopy is flying. Definately works though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
