Tad,
why are your remote barrel (ratio 16.8) less effective than your barrel (20.4) ?

Antoine copied your barrel release design and had some issues initially. Not by any stretch of the imagination did he copy my design. One of his issues is impossible on mine ('cause the Base runs are stitched together) and the other he had to deliberately induce and... I think Zack would rather men...

tested at 120kg direct load (209kg on the line) required less than 8kg actuation.

yep, thanks to give us your time.

If I could just get you to drill one tiny little hole

The distribution will ALWAYS be split evenly in half but as the anchor point moves back on the keel to the hang point and then down the suspension the glider will feel and behave more like one point. Sorry, I should have missed something: A one point AT is 100% traction (and power to control) on th...

BARREL Sorry, so far I have been unable to get that clip to play. It's .MOV My setup use a braided dyneema I didn't stitch together in opposite to your stitched dacron leechline.

Zack C - 2011/07/10 00:53:22 UTC And if that wasn't enough, I talked to a pilot from NW Texas that was also visiting and he had problems with the barrel on his release being so close to the edge of the pin that it was releasing prematurely on him a few feet off the ground. Last I spoke with him Mat...
