Has any one done a lot of direct and indirect slider control with the same slider, PC and canopy set up? How do the openings differ for you? Thanks!

You would also at least have to consider the length of delay. (and maybe the wind conditions?)

BJ 260, small mesh, 36"pc, jump from 960 ft, 6-7 sec delay, winds 5-10 at PC pitch, (3-4 jumps no slider control, 12-15 with direct Slider control) :

The difference was noticable for me in that they were softer and smoother instead of muscle tweaking whackers.

YMMV

So leroy you have made 12 slider up jumps from 920 in the past week. you must have got good at climbing.

Where does it state anything about a time period in which the jumps were performed??

Vented/covered Fox 245, 38" ZP vented PC, terminal. 80 jumps, around 30 being wingsuit.

I always pack for a very fast opening (<150' pitch to open) and direct control only added more variance to altitude consumed during opening.
