treeman 0 #1 November 6, 2004 can this type of spinning mal occur in larger canopies? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reginald 0 #3 November 7, 2004 My one cutaway was under a spining mal on a sabre2 190. I was suprised that it could happen under this large of a canopy and how strong the g's were."We've been looking for the enemy for some time now. We've finally found him. We're surrounded. That simplifies things." CP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 16 #4 November 7, 2004 Yes, any canopy can have a spinning malfunction, from a little to a lot, but the lighter the wing loading, the slower it should spin for any given malfunction. A light wing loading should have a hard time spinning you up uncontrollably, like some of the really bad mals you may have read or heard about. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattjw916 2 #5 November 8, 2004 I have been briskly spun a couple of times on a Sabre2 190 and once on my Safire 189... both loaded lightly at 1.1. In all cases I was able to correct/counter the spin and/or get the end cells to inflate before any significant speed built up.
