A fabric panel installed at the end of a canopy ,  intended primarily to reduce wingtip vortices  (much as an end plate on an aircraft wing), and to provide some directional stability. Some stabilizer  designs are ram-air pressurized for additional rigidity.  Tapes, Reinforcement: A tape installed in the canopy to provide additional strength or dimensional  stability. Tapes are identified by location.  Cross Tapes:  A reinforcing tape that runs spanwise on the upper or lower surface to distribute  loads through the canopy. With chordwise construction, a cross tape typically runs from a line  attachment point to laterally adjacent line attachment point, although some may run from a  suspension line attachment point diagonally to a control line attachment point. With spanwise  construction, a cross tape may be rolled into a seam joining spanwise panels.  Leading Edge Tape:  A tape applied to or rolled into the leading edge of a upper or lower panel. May be continuous across the span of the canopy.  Line Attachment Reinforcement Tape: A tape sewn chordwise into a seam at a line  attachment point.  Load Tape:  A tape applied to a rib section and used to distribute the load from a line attachment  to the canopy. When applied in a “V” may also be known as a “ V-tape .” In some canopies, load  tapes may extend through the lower seam to become line attachment points. Rib Leading Edge Tape:  A tape applied to or rolled into the leading edge of a rib section. Trailing Edge Tape:  A tape applied to or rolled into the trailing edge seam. Usually continuous  across the span of the canopy.  Toggle, Control: A grip attached to the end of the control line to allow the user an adequate handhold on  the line. Most commonly consists of a tape/webbing loop or a hard plastic dowel. Typically supplied as  part of the container assembly.  Trim: The arrangement of differential line lengths to produce a desired trim angle and anhedral. See  also  Angle of Trim . See Figures 1a and 1b.  Vent, Lower Surface: An opening in the lower surface to provide an alternate path for pressurization  during deployment (“inflation vent”) or depressurization during flight (“accuracy vent”).
