Re: [Faber] Pc´s
I am starting to believe my non vented non load taped PC is causing me some problems with off headings!! Tongue

I had a 180 tonight Crazy on a guyed A and the view from above was that it skated around alot - I probably did a stronger pitch than my normal placement and we had strongish tail wind. There are probably some other additional reasonings for the 180 but I dont think the PC helped!

Im off to trawl the archives for postings on off headings!!!!........ Blush

Be Safe...........

Get vented PCs for anything smaller than 46 - it may well save your life.

I hate to bring up the packer's mantra, but I believe it to be true... were you in a relaxed body position when you pitched? Something 460 taught me which I have found to be more useful than anything else is to be totally relaxed when you pitch. Tension seems to exascerbate problems.

In reply to:
Mac266, How long of a delay and was it a direct tail wind?

I took 1 second and the tailwind was slightly coming from the left - only slightly Crazy

In reply to:
were you in a relaxed body position when you pitched?

I do have a relaxed position.

Be safe........... be waking up reviewing reasons for the 180......
