people with a wing loading of 1.8 or more, or have a small canopy
ZigZag replied to skygod7777's topic in Gear and Rigging
[:)How about the "scientific" approach. Just about every human I know is out of tolerance, meaning that betwixt their left and right side there is a measurable difference. 1/8" sounds about right, if not even more. So 1/8" in a harness or/and the suspension lines of a small canopy added together could make a difference. The problem becomes the reference point. Did the problem manifest itself with the new harness/container? Was the old harness/container even in respect to the main lift web(Muscle memory/Body position memory)?Did the VX itself go out of trim? When was the last time the main had a proper inspection? How about the risers and the brake settings. No minimums here. Just more questions.Small or highly wingloaded canopies require more skills to pilot. If at all, they require constant input/attention by the pilot. Hook low, flare late, die.. -
