Low turns/avoidance manoeuvres and high performance canopies
Rafaellimon replied to dgw's topic in Safety and Training
So I start to think after reading all posts, what would be the safest altitude for no more turns with a load of 1.2 at 4,500 above sea level??? -
haha its an Italian Motorcycle good present!!!!! I want one!!!

How many of you have had a low turn?
Rafaellimon replied to Rafaellimon's topic in Safety and Training
The posts keep on coming, I hope when I go back to skydive after having that bad landing won't happen again I even had thorns in my but haha! thanx for all your messages. On the POLL so many skydivers have perform a low turn hope most of them with no injuries. -

Thats what I tried to make a flat turn but I don't know if I did it right, first I pull down both toggles really lite and one up to start to turn everything was good until the point I put up the arms again I got instant speed I think I shouldn't had to do that instead starting my brake sequence. What you guys think? -

I had my first 90 degrees low turn with no big consequences nothing broken just pain and bruises, it is a small place to land so I didn't want to cross in front of the landing pattern so I try to correct at final with low altitude when I tried to brake was to late because of the acceleration of the canopy no air in it you know the rest -
keep your old car and buy the bike...

Hi anyone to perris on Nov 28, hope the weather gets better....

Thank you for your posts just want to know how to reduce possibilities of a malfunction.

Because of my body position I have had 2 linetwists with no problems since I used a PD-260 but all I know is that with big canopy less chance to start spinning, but what would be for smaller the regular size or load to get more frequent spins under a linetwist any one know?
-
What would be the canopy size or load, that you start getting those ugly spinning line twists?
