theonlyski 8 #26 August 9, 2012 QuoteThe newer "steerable" rounds have steering toggles, and depending on winds (high winds, high hands, low winds low hands) determine arm position as it only affects horizontal speed, not decent rate. And yes with a ram air, definitely want to flare haha with hands near crotch or land on rears and rotate your elbows infront of your face. I seem to remember the SF-10A training stating that holding the toggles too far down will increase descent rate."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ive never heard that, but im not a rigger or expert on the canopy by any means. Regardless, the toggles are NOT meant to slow decent rate, but some dumbass' see freefallers flaring and they think its what they are suposed to do under a SF-10. Idiots... haJack of all trades.

On most steerable rounds pulling a toggle down spills air out on that side and causing the canopy turn. If you pull both down you spill air out of both sides…..do not turn but down faster. On some smaller sports rounds you could pull down on the rear risers and slow the decent rate.
