A1Paratrooper 0 #1 November 18, 2003 I won't mention the make or manufacture yet. I bought a canopy that was used as a reserve but never deployed. During Rantoul I decided to use it as a main parachute. After deploying the thing kept wanting to go right on me and got real squirrely before landing. Prior to landing flare right toggle was alredy half way down compensating for the turn. Aero store checked it out for me and found no damage and break lines were of equal length. I took it to the Manufactues tent and their short term fix was to install 2 extra mini links on the right side line groups. I jumped it and it had a much less turn but to the left this time. I sent it back to the manufacture with my whole story and was told it would be fixed at no charge. When I recieved it back it still had the 4 liks on the right side risers and no explination of what was done to it.My question is is this a safe fix?

hookitt 0 #2 November 18, 2003 Find out what work was performed. The extra links are ok only to test out as a main. It is not a fix.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 3 #3 November 19, 2003 Are you kidding? That canopy is obviously not "fixed" if you are still having to jump it with extra links on one side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
