  1. My Spectre 170 will pull to the right if my brake lines are twisted over time. If the brake lines get twisted over time they will shorten causing the canopy to pull in one direction or the other even when brakes are stowed. Have him lay out the canopy and do a brake line check. If that doesn't help then have him do a line check. Canopy manufactures provide the proper line trim lengths per canopy. They all vary from different size also. Or have his rigger check the lines.

    Also an uneven load will cause the canopy to pull. Say if you lower your left leg by tilting your hip will cause the canopy to turn left. Also if he doesn't have his leg straps even it will cause the canopy to turn but most of those cases are more common in higher loaded or high performance canopies. It still is possible to happen in a 1:1 loaded canopy that is not high performance.

  2. I am looking for a US Military Airborne rig. That means I want the pack tray, harness, parachute (T10D or -1 model with toggles), static line and D-bag and a soft loop center pull MRPS reserve. Does anyone have one for sale or know where I can get this equipment?

    The reason I want an Airborne rig is because I used to be in the 82nd Airborne Division and I want to have one to jump again. I know jumping my Spectre 170 is more fun and jumping the round is a different animal but there is something I miss about it.

  3. I have been reading reviews on gear and many of the reviews are showing low numbers of people finding them to be helpful. Could this be a joke? I see many reviews that are very helpful and some are not. If they are serious then it would be nice to know what else could make a review more helpful at least. When people post really good reviews about gear and get very low "helpful ratings", then it discourages other people to post new gear reviews.
