I assume the flag is jettisoned before landing, so landing wouldn't be a problem.

No...

Nothing is ever 'dropped'...

That's how people get hurt equiptment gets damaged and insurance gets canceled.:)



and as Rev says..it make for a really hairy down plane!:S

ROFLMAO!

Walt, it's not the landing, it's the flying characteristics. A small canopy just flies too fast for the amount of drag from the flag. Big flag, big canopy.



Ok, I could see that. A 2500 sq. ft. flag is a really different animal. There aren't many people that jump 'em.

Thanks for the explanation.

Serious? I know I'm showing my ignorance here, but that's a pretty small price to pay for learning from experts.

How can you land a canopy when something you are towing hits the ground before you do and places a hellacious amount of "drag" on you and your canopy?!!!

Dammit-what slot were you flying in the show. It sucked looking up and saying, "Hey, I know him, or him, or him. or him, or him"

A guy I know rigged a 3 ring to the flag attached to the steering lines so that it dropped when he started the flare and
was caught by the ground crew

Bad idea...what if you need to do a radical turn to avoid traffic and cut the flag high?

you should NEVER drop anything or have a system that can / will do it...automaticly....

Murphy lurks!
