Last couple of flights, I've had a very hard time transitioning upright for landing.
While I'm certainly pretty new to these units, I don't think my technique is entirely to blame because I have been able to get upright and land well before.
A post-flight inspection after my last flight revealed the heavy rope that connects to the back-plate and goes through the pully at the bottom of the hang strap, had a couple inches of slack in it that I'm pretty sure it didn't used to have. It seems though like that should make it too easy to rotate, not more difficult, but that's all I could find. Could that be my issue or should I look for something else?
If anyone else has had similar problems and solved them, please share.
