I am a new time jumper with 80 jumps. After ten jumps trying to find this "sweet spot" that requires a "full flare" I went back to the basics and determined that my steering lines were just a bit too long. My rigger looked at the rig and doubted my call on the length of the lines. He abliged my requests after I did two jumps confirming that I could not stall the canopy up high unless I hyper-extended my shoulders (and I am 6'4"). He shortened my steering lines by three finger widths. I gave him two big hugs and I owe him some beer after loving the new responce of the canopy. Now I really like the canopy. If you are having trouble finding the "sweet spot", test the steering line lengths up high to see if they are too long. Don't just have someone look at it on the ground, as this did not help me. Blue skies and enjoy.
