  • How big / wingload has the canopy?

  • @woodydrn2

    wingload was 2.3, canopy size & type in subj.

  • @Sobakin76 How often do you get linetwists on this size canopy? Looks like the right panels caught air first, and that made it spin?

  • @woodydrn2

    Not often, about one per 50 jumps, most of them untwisted while canopy inflating.

    I've done 450 jumps on this canopy, only 2 cutaways in first 25 jumps.

    This linetwist was because of too aggressive rear risers steering.
