nasty tandem line twists

Recommended Posts

I had something similar this summer on an Icarus tandem canopy. It twisted up shortly after relasing the drogue almost 3/4 of the way up the lines but the canopy was square and flying straight. The twist didn't seem to want to come out at first even with me kicking and trying to spread the risers. I had the student look up, explained what was going on and then instructed him to assist me in kicking out of the line twist. It took a little effort and time but we finally got out. There was a brief period of time were I had considered cutting away cause the twist didn't seem to want to come out. Glad I didn't.
