I won't mention the make or manufacture yet. I bought a canopy that was used as
a reserve but never deployed. During Rantoul I decided to use it as a main
parachute. After deploying the thing kept wanting to go right on me and got
real squirrely before landing. Prior to landing flare right toggle was alredy
half way down compensating for the turn. Aero store checked it out for me and
found no damage and break lines were of equal length. I took it to the
Manufactues tent and their short term fix was to install 2 extra mini links on
the right side line groups. I jumped it and it had a much less turn but to the
left this time. I sent it back to the manufacture with my whole story and was
told it would be fixed at no charge. When I recieved it back it still had the 4
liks on the right side risers and no explination of what was done to it.My
question is is this a safe fix?
