Harness turns?

Over what WL can I expect harness turns?

I`ve noticed some little, but niticeable left turns of my gear recently. Can it be a reason?

that could be your left leg strap is tighter than your right, or you junk is under your left leg strap.....

my pics & stuff!

Check to see if your break lines are twisted.

Check your line trim. There is an article on my rigging page how to do that.

In my experience, it takes at least a 1.3 WL for harness turns to be fast enough to be useful. Less than that, you will get a slow turn that may be an annoyance if you aren't doing it intentionally.

Any wing loading can result in harness turns. In my experience they are significant above about 1.2 and can become a serious problem if you don't know what you're doing above about 1.5.

A nut under the leg strap will cause a turn at times also.

it would depend on the canopy type as well, yes?

I have ~70jumps only in my canopy. I`ve checked and untwisted my brakes, but still....

I`m somewhere WL 1.3..1.4.

WL ~1.4 might give fast turns. I can make pretty quick 90's with harness input.
