arni999 0 #1 November 18, 2006 I did my packing course last tuesday and all went pretty well. As i cannot afford to jump this weekend i thought i'd have a practice at home. I got to the stage of putting the bag/canopy into the container but i have forgotten a couple of things: 1) Do i stow the lines (the ones fastened into the bungees) towards the bottom of the conatiner? 2) When i put the main/canopy into the container i was taught to put it in at a 45 degree angle but i can't remember which way. Does the part of the bag towards the bottom of the container (where the lines are stowed) need to be raised higher or is it the other end? I've managed to get everything in ok from what i think is correct (i.e. lines stowed at bottom with this same end higher than the other end). Whether it's jumpable or not is a different matter though!! Forgot to mention, the container is a teardrop superfly Practice Practice Practice...

Also here is a link to the owners manual if you do not have one! http://www.parachutemanuals.com/Containers/Thomas%20Sports%20Equip/TearDrop.pdf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
