Mirage G4 Colsing Loop

[Muppetdog 0]

I have a G4 that is about one year old and am wondering from you other G4 owners, how tight do you have your closing loop on the main pin? What is that best way to judge the proper tightness?

Thanks,
MD

If it is easy to close, then the loop is too loose.
If you can pick the rig up by the main bridle, then your loop is too tight.
Aim for bridle pull force between 15 and 22 pounds, just like a ripcord.
Remember that any decent throw-out pilotchute will provide at least 80 pounds of tension at terminal velocity.
