bodypilot90 0 #1 November 28, 2002 when warping does the canopy sink while stopping? With all the canopy deaths of late I was thinking maybe this would be a good tool to add to the "oh chit" tool box. Someone is about to wrap with you at 200 feet or something like that. How low would you Warp? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #2 November 30, 2002 In my experience, warping doesn't induce a rapid altitude loss. I guess it *could* but you'd be pulling the front riser/toggle really hard very quickly. I would pose, why are you in a situation where you're going to "wrap" (collide) at 200 feet? Why couldn't you do a minor correction to get out of their way? Why couldn't you hit your rear risers and "climb" above them or hit your brakes and stop? The only time I personally would use a warp would be up high, doing Crew... One of the more experienced CReW dogz might jump in here and prove this CReW pup wrong, though. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

bobsoutar 0 #3 December 2, 2002 Even with my regular 2-way CReW buddy we don't warp below 1,500 feet - normal break off with a newbie is 2,500 feet. Playing around in burbles can be pretty weird - don't do it low. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
faulknerwn 36 #4 December 2, 2002 Warping is very stable and I have no problem doing it low, but Its way too slow and I wouldn't use it to avoid a collision. W Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

faulknerwn 36 #6 December 3, 2002 Pulling down heavily on one front riser and the opposite toggle. It warps your canopy, dogging it out and making it sink. Very handy when doing CRW. W Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pop 0 #7 December 3, 2002 how much more is it effective using the toggle rather then the back riser to warp the canopy?7 ounce wonders, music and dogs that are not into beer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobsoutar 0 #8 December 3, 2002 It's not more effective, it's more controllable. You can control the input much better with toggles because they are less reactive than rear risers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
faulknerwn 36 #9 December 3, 2002 A lot more I think if your goal is sinking. Rear risers change your trim rather than just slowing you down like brakes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sikorsky 0 #10 January 14, 2003 Warping is the most common method for rebuilds on our team C4. Stack to Stack randoms for example, top breaks grips, warps for 3 seconds looking at number two's canopy target area, then releases warp. Number two redocks. Top catches with feet only while maintaining heading in quarter breaks... Also used for wings, stopping & waiting - check articles at www.dqnt.com/acc.htmQuote Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
