Gary73 10 #1 Posted September 22, 2024 Hi, I just re-lined a Solo 270, and on the test jump, at full glide it constantly turned right unless I pulled about 15" of left toggle. Wing loading was right around 0.8 PSF. Then, as I slowed the canopy toward full brakes, the right-turning tendency slowly went away and disappeared at full brakes. Inspected the canopy and everything looked fine, inside and out. Compared every line to its mirror line, and every pair is within 1/4 inch. Can the canopy fabric be so distorted as to cause such a turn with no visible damage/asymmetry? Any suggestions? Thanks! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Getting them involved also gives them an opportunity to analyze the situation for patterns of issues on their end. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
