Default RE: Skydiver with Static Line?

Hi Spinbotz
Opening should be very quick. My two take about 1 second for deployment, from once the pin comes out.
What I have suffered from is delayed pin pull due to the servo struggling with the load. This sometimes occured after a long free-fall. In the end I went from a 4 cell 700 Rx pack to a 5 cell 1200 Rx pack and upgraded the right hand (pin pulling) servo from a 3kg to a 5kg rating.The other technique I use is to hold the stick over (and trim if I am worried) and wait. DO NOT re-centre the stick and try again....
My first D/D was after 80 jumps, none since the mods were made.....yet

Best Regards

Gordon
