gauleyguide 0 #1 April 23, 2007 I was just wondering if a slider that was wider in the front(A and B lines) would help the nose inflate quicker than the rest of the canopy, sorta constraing the tail abit longer during the inflation, kinda like a moving tailgate?! Just a thought!? Thanx -A"Don't keep your pilot chute a secret" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomAiello 26 #3 April 23, 2007 I believe that BASE 460 (or was it someone else?) built a trapezoidal slider like that. Perhaps he will chime in, but I think that he had some not entirely desireably results, and discontinued using it. Remember that sliders are designed (size and shape) by the canopy manufacturer to fit a specific canopy. If you really wanted to pursue this idea, you'd probably end up building a canopy from the ground up for it. And, as always, if you try it out, remember that you're a test jumper, with all that entails.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
