ArmyMedic 0 #1 September 3, 2007 We are interested in putting together some side-by-side and tri-by-side's but as of right now we do not have any straps. We do a ton of biplanes and down-planes, but when-ever we try a side-by-side it ends up rolling over to a down plane. Does anyone have any suggestions as how to get the canopies side-by-side without straps? We have tried a few leg locks, but nothings seems to work well..."This is better than sex, and cheaper too!"

skypuppy 1 #2 September 4, 2007 Just have one guy holding the grip on the other's harness while the other guy STEERS his canopy back into the side-by-side configuration. That isn't so hard.... Then change your grips.If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme. Otherwise he'd already be dead.

chuckbrown 0 #3 September 4, 2007 One way is for the bottom jumper to pull the top jumper down & to one side. Then both jumpers take harness grips & then very gently split the canopies by pulling outside toggle; if you put too much input in splitting the canopies they'll pull away & you won't be able to hold the tension.

That is what we had tried, but like you said, if the canopies go to far, they turn to a downplane and the tension gets intense. Will try to have one guy hold grips while the other steers and then grip switch... Thanks!"This is better than sex, and cheaper too!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
