Left turn while landing

[ikd 0]

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.

Are you reaching with your right foot? That is a pretty common error.

that or your canopy is out of trim, or there are twists in your brake lines.

Have someone video a couple of your landings.

Does the canopy turn left the entire time? Also, check the length of your steering lines, they should be exactly even.

are you lined up straight into the wind line?

(i know might be obvious but it could be a possibility )

Left foot instead?

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

Yep, Kentucky windage might do the trick

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

That would not make the canopy turn - just crab along the ground.

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.
