ikd 0 #1 November 10, 2003 Hey, I own a Hornet 150, I have a feeling, but it could be me aswell, that everytime I get to the landing flare, or just before, the canopy takes a light left turn. once when there was quite alot of turbulace on ground level I even felt that the whole canopy took me 20degrees to the left, while I wasn't touching the brakes, holding - but not pulling. What could be a resonable check to see if its me or the canopy ? the canopy has 50 jumps on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
feagajk 0 #2 November 10, 2003 Are you reaching with your right foot? That is a pretty common error. Joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #3 November 10, 2003 that or your canopy is out of trim, or there are twists in your brake lines. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hooknswoop 19 #5 November 10, 2003 Does the canopy turn left the entire time? Also, check the length of your steering lines, they should be exactly even. Derek Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andy2 0 #6 November 10, 2003 are you lined up straight into the wind line? (i know might be obvious but it could be a possibility ) --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tailgate 0 #8 November 10, 2003 I am a newbie so take this with the appropriate grain of salt: On my last 2 landings I kept going off course to the right a few degrees. After talking with my landing coach he pointed out that while my arms sere not moving, when I looked around under canopy my shoulders were following my head. WHen the shoulders moved so did the arms and of course they were holding the toggles and I was turning. my .02 cents _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ikd 0 #11 November 10, 2003 Every third or forth jump I untwist any twists in the brakes (when usually I don't have much), What does it mean, reaching with my right foot, do you mean like trying to put my right leg first on ground... it can't be reasonable... I twisted my ankle 30 jumps earlier (the right one)... Well, the steering lines length I can check by myself, isn't it? but as I recall while flying high it goes stright while in front wind. Thanks, but the thing I hoped for is for someone to offer landing services Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phoenixlpr 0 #13 November 11, 2003 I would check brake lines on the ground. Open high on the next jump and check behaviour close to stall. I had the same experience on a rented gear. That bitch was tuning the left on stall and landing too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
