baseclimb 0 #1 July 8, 2003 All, Can anyone tell me how do I generate side-slip with my canopy. I.E. make the canopy of the nose pointing in constant direction, but canopy is moving to side. Wich riser/toggle input should I try. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeedToJump 0 #2 July 8, 2003 What works for me is to pull the toggle in the direction you want to canopy to turn, shift your weight in that direction and pull down on the opposite front riser. It's all a balancing act to get it right though.Wind Tunnel and Skydiving Coach http://www.ariperelman.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crwmike 0 #3 July 8, 2003 Good advice. The weight shift, however, is a bit like holding your mouth the right way. ;) Michael QuoteWhat works for me is to pull the toggle in the direction you want to canopy to turn, shift your weight in that direction and pull down on the opposite front riser.

faulknerwn 36 #4 July 8, 2003 Try also just bumping a toggle - i.e. don't hold it long enough for you to notice the canopy to start to turn, just pull it quickly and immediately return it to prior location. Works like a champ. w Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just use the weight shift to fine tune what I'm doing with the other two inputs, nothing major with it.Wind Tunnel and Skydiving Coach http://www.ariperelman.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baseclimb 0 #6 July 9, 2003 Cheers for the advice. I will try the 'toggle-shift-opposite riser' and the 'bump-bump' methods. If that fails I'll try the 3/4 and open mouth thing. Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
