freeflir29 0 #1 September 8, 2001 After several threads discussing this I said screw it last weekend and bought one. With a "Skymonkey Hook Up" of course...LOL. I have a PD 190 9 cell loaded about 1.3. I can't believe the difference it made. The extra speed was amazing. I even screwed up the flare to the tune of about two feet off the ground. My rigger said the book answer was 3-5% but holy shit it made a difference!"Jesus Blessed me with his future...and I protect it with fire!"-R.A.T.M.Clay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tlshealy 0 #4 September 8, 2001 Last weekend I made a field expediant bungie collapsible PC with a large rubber band through the bridle and tacked to the apex of the PC. I could see under canopy that it was working well. Big difference on landing,longer swoop and softer in no wind. Several jumps later I noticed my approach speed had dropped on landing and I had lost some flair, sure enough, my rubber band broke. So I know that it made quite a difference.Thats on a tri 160 loaded at 1.3. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
