dmddave 0 #1 May 8, 2001 I'm waiting for my first canopy to arrive-a new spectre. Anyone have any good advice on packing this canopy such as flat pack, PRO pack rolling the nose etc? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't roll the nose unless you want about a 1000ft snivel. I have a triathalon and I just leave the nose wide open when I pack it and get about 600ft snivels and very soft openings. When I jump a Spectre 150 I keep the nose open and pack it exactly the same as my tri. You will love the spectre, it is a joy to fly and has always opened soft for me. The worst thing about that canopy will be controlling the fabric while packing as new PD zero-p fabric is pretty slippery. Have fun with your new canopy.Blue Skies and soft openings,Adam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone have any good advice on packing this canopy such as flat pack, PRO pack rolling the nose etc?First suggestion: Have somebody else pack it the first few jumps. Most people PRO pack it as I do. I've rolled the nose a couple of times, 3 & 3 and left the center cell hanging, pushed in the end cells without rolling and leaving the center exposed, or just push the nose in and continue to pack. It depends, I guess. The best thing that works lately is the cute British chick that is packing it now.
