WHY DOES RDS SIZING MATTER?
In short, RDS sizing matters because it could cause a malfunction. RDS sizing directly affects:
- Opening characteristics
- Slider travel
- Line tension distribution
- Overall flight performance
If the slider dimensions don't match the canopy correctly, you may experience:
- Faster or uneven inflation
- Heading changes during opening
- Inconsistent pressurisation
- Harder openings
Basically, make sure you've got the right size RDS for your canopy! We've got a handy chart in this article for you to refer to.
