  1. got more comfortable towards the end of the day, doing drills finding out maximum altitude los in 90 and 180 toggle turns, urgent dive recoverys etc. even got off a 90 front to land, i went forever*

    all of the canopy coaching came in handy when it came to setting it down nice and soft where i wanted to.

    by the way if your around europe and want canopy coaching www.safeflightschool.com Brian Vacher is one of the best canopy piloting coaches i have learnt from and seen and he's home grown from the good old UK, few and far between on our soil.












    *above statement may be a slight inflation of the truth however rocked very hard...

  2. it works because of the airspeed the canopy is flying at. it creates lift in the direction the wing is pointing... kinda / that way.... upwards. the canopy doesn't sink if the airspeed is kept up and therefore the lift doesn't degenerate... it's all about momentum, airspeed, lift, and knowing the canopy your flying inside out.

    there are a few cool drills you can do at altitude, ask someone who quietly knows how to fly there canopy at the DZ, a crew dog or this guy you saw carving...

    good luck with it all man, canopy flight is the future!

  3. i would like to put a call out to the uk canopy pilots that hang around here,

    we have seen in the US the CPC develop to help amature swoopers develop experience.

    are there any pilots in the UK interested in launching a CPC "district" in the UK, OR developing a smaller similar friendly circuit?

    kind of a modern version old mens working club, but without the shit bands, cheap beer and bingo?
