riggerrob 643 #2 March 17, 2015 Precision Falcon 175 with Spectra lines Base NCAA 340.5 inches NCA to NCB 9.9 NCAA to C 26 NCA to D 46.3 NCA to T 13.4 With deployment brakes set. assuming standard rise configuration. Base A 341.3 A to B 9.4 A to C 25.9 A to D 46.5 A to T 11 BL to Tog 52 Since Falcons are rectangular, all the A lines start out the same length. Your biggest problem will be A lines stretching (Dacron) or shrinking (Spectra) unevenly. By the time there is 3 inches difference across the A lines, you are due for new lines. Once there is more than 2 inches difference across the A lines, there is little point to re-trimming brake lines because the flare will not improve significantly. Before investing in a new line kit, also consider the life remaining g in the fabric. No one expects F-111 fabric to remain airworthy after 1,000 jumps.

NovaTTT 2 #3 March 18, 2015 riggerrob , also consider the life remaining g in the fabric. No one expects F-111 fabric to remain airworthy after 1,000 jumps. Thread Drift: And the sun rises is the east BUT I last jumped my 175 Falcon in 1990-91, and it had almost 2000 jumps on it but flew and landed beautifully. We're talking F111 landings, but they were comfortable and easy standups. Maybe packing on the grass, in the sun, isn't so bad!!
