  2. Just an update…I asked someone experienced to jump with my rig and he had the same problem, to rule out a problem with my container we put my canopy on other container and the problem still their. We check (again) the brake lines and all the lines, not seems to be wrong. To fly straight I need to use the left toggle constantly, around 15 to 20 cm.
  3. Sorry, I didn’t know this term “built in turn”, so I used canopy not flying in a straight line, because it’s what actually is happening, at least is what I feel when I’m flying it. Before, release my toggles, there is already a small tendency to go for my right (always for that side), which seems increase a little bit after I release it. It’s manageable, so I can fly straight with few additional centimetres (maybe 10 cm) of input in my left toggle. I tried hard but it is not possible to compensate the turn only with my body position, I do need the left toggle to do that. Is a new canopy (12 jumps on it) and I didn’t had a hard opening in it. My container seems Ok (has around 250 jumps), but I will ask for our rigger take a look also. The straps do not come loose after opening…. It could be my impression but the first couple of jumps on it I didn’t notice anything wrong…I’m waiting for a better whether to ask for an experimented skydiver jump on it. Thanks again.
  4. I do not want to raise any concern about any company, I was just asking for a help and I appreciate all the input that I got from the forum and I will be looking in all the possibility. For sure first I will have a experienced skydiver (that is not my case) jump on it, it was not done yet because are raining a lot lately up here. If is not OK I will send back to PD as suggested. Thanks
  5. I have bought a new canopy a Sabre 2 170 (my wing load is around 1.4, and I have 290 jumps), I downsized it from a Sabre 2 190. When flying my new canopy has the tendency to go for the right side, is not that strong but is quit uncomfortable (mainly for landing). I had asked for our rigger to take a look and he didn’t saw any problems with the brakes and visually it doesn’t seem to have other major problem also. I was told that would be the way that I fly or my container might not be well adjusted (Vector 3 that I’m flying it after 2 years). I’m trying everything in air to see if would be my body position or if I can detect something wrong with my container. I had done 12 jumps on it and no clue of what could be happening. Does someone have a suggestion? Thanks
