Hi all,
After what has been a bad year so far, I was finally able to fly this Parachute today aboard an NCR Lance Delta.
Everything was packed in the rocket following the instructions in the manual. This is stressed in the manual so I guessed it was a good idea to follow procedure,
Everything deployed at apogee and I quickly set to work with the transmitter to test it out, I have an issue with the steering line lengths as with no control input it was flying in circles and full left stick the chute would glide in a straight line. Not bothered about this as I'm sure it can be rectified by adjusting the steering lines.
Another error I made was going for the 32" canopy but when I started putting stuff together found some specs that suggested the 24" canopy would be better suited to the Lance Delta, descent was very slow and if there was any wind I would have had a long walk as even holding the chute into wind it would have drifted downwind. I may get a smaller canopy for next season,
Anyhoo I can say this product does work and to the naysayers "don't knock it till you've tried it"
)
I still have some Ideas for this parachute but we won't be flying here until Sept so I have months to adjust and find a way of testing canopy trim to get it to straighten up and fly true. Something to do over the off season.
Regards Plane Crazy
