Firebird Chili 110 Malfunctions

Recommended Posts

Has anyone out there had any issues with a 1.4 wing loaded chili 110. I've had 2 malfunctions in 7 jumps.

First malfunction was tension knots on the front right line group in the A/B cascades. This caused a uncontrollable flat spin, chopped it landed reserve.

Second malfunction was severe line twists with the slider down, resulting in another flat spin, chopped it and landed the reserve.

Just curious if any one out there has had similar experiences.
I appreciate the feedback!

Firebird, weren't they formerly known as Performance Variable ? :D
More seriously, maybe try and contact them and have them examine your canopy.
Could be packing, position, or weird canopy too...

good luck and don't hesitate to share your findings

Hi Amy, you can mail me at george@flyfirebird.com
We're in Eloy and can inspect and testjump it if you send it to us.
We also would need more info like how many jumps on that canopy, canopy progression, etc etc.
Thanks
