FreeflyGoat 0 #1 March 25, 2011 I have a small crossbraced canopy that I'm measuring to find out why it's turning to the left. It's a second/third hand canopy and I don't know the history other than I'm sure it's been wet. Taking measurements of the bottom skin seams from tail to nose, one sides seams tend to be about 1cm longer. Anybody know if 1cm/10mm of difference could be causing the turn? Anyone with experience in measuring canopies and know the tolerances?_________________________ goat derka jerka bukkake jihad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I recall talking to a rigger friend who said that the line length tolerances on a velocity from the factory were less than a few millimeters. I suspect that a 1CM difference could fuck things up.~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.

FreeflyGoat 0 #5 March 25, 2011 An article I found that talks about the line tolerances say up to 30mm/3cm which is a relatively long length. But, all the lines are within 5mm of it's opposite side twin. That's why I'm looking at the fabric._________________________ goat derka jerka bukkake jihad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
