danielcroft 2 #1 September 13, 2008 I've taken to using harness inputs on final while my hands are all the way up and in the toggles. I'm on a lightly loaded (.97) sabre 2 190. Is this a good thing or bad? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dharma1976 0 #3 September 13, 2008 dan your landings are awfully safe.... seriously a light harness adjustment will be a nice shallow adjustment on your canopy... for everyone else, no matter what please see what inputs will do up high instead of trying them just down below to see what happens (I know dan does this from personal knowledge) Dhttp://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

danielcroft 2 #4 September 13, 2008 Going to a 1.092 loaded sabre 2 170, I'll obviously test it out up high but do you think that would make any major difference to my harness inputs? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gearless_chris 1 #5 September 13, 2008 If you do them often enough you will notice a change. If you've only done them a few times maybe not. The smaller your canopy is, the more of an effect harness input has. For me going from a 170 Nitron 1.6 W/L, to a 150 Nitro 1.8 W/L was very noticeable. The canopies are identical other than the size and some extra reinforcement on the Nitro. I was able to fly an entire pattern with harness inputs on the 150, with the 170... I had better have a big area to hit . "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.

danielcroft 2 #6 September 15, 2008 Thanks very much. I jumped the 170 twice today (two great landings) and tried the harness. I was taking it pretty easy to start though so that's probably why I barely noticed a difference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dharma1976 0 #7 September 15, 2008 the landing I saw yesterday showed a marked improvement over the 190 I definitely think this is the right canopy for you to fly based on watching your previous landings and watching these... if you want some drills next weekend let me know and I will video your landings and talk it out if we have time for that.

danielcroft 2 #8 September 15, 2008 Thanks Dave. My second landing was even better than my first. I'm definitely up for some drills, still feeling the canopy out though of course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
