Kyron 0 #1 April 5, 2013 Hello! I started to take canopy piloting more serious some time ago so I use harness input for many turns since I read one of Brian Germain's articles 'Clean up your turns' I wonder if there are harness styles that can improve harness input. For example, can chest rings like those from the Mirage or the Javelin provide a better effectiveness for that kind of control input? And what about inset stabilizers? Do they help to keep leaning to one side in a turn? Has anybody some experience with different rig styles for canopy piloting? Blue skies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EppyNephrine 0 #2 April 9, 2013 I know that the cut of the laterals on the harness makes a large difference (see this post: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3359904). However, as far as brands go, I would be interested to hear people's opinion as well. Unfortunately, the population of folks with worthy opinions is a narrow one, as this is a question for someone with at least 4-5k jumps, at least a hundred jumps on each type of container they describing, as well as a bias-free opinion (which is rare in this game).

Kyron 0 #3 May 6, 2013 Thats true! But most people with some k jumps have biased opinions because of sponsorships etc. It also seems that experienced skydivers stop thinking or scrutinising at a cerain level, they just 'KNOW'. So what do inset laterals do in a harness turn compared to less fixed rig? I would like to base this on data rather than impressions but I first need to get my new rig (same main). After that I'll perform some series of tests with both rigs and let you know :) This will take more than just 2 or 3 monthes but I will have this post in mind...
