SkydiveMonkey 0 #2 May 15, 2002 I've read that you just do a standard pro-pack, and leave the nose open. Have a look on their web site http:// Extremefly.com When I grow up, I want to be a post whore Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The tail seems to make the biggest difference." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bhale 0 #5 May 15, 2002 Agreed, on all the points provided: stuff the nose and roll the tail, no less than 12 times. Make sure you have the recommended pilot chute size, too. This will make a HUGE difference. I made the mistake of using my factory mirage 26" on my 95 Cobalt, and it was "brisk", to say the least.Pilot chute size and rubber bands. To the others point, visit the web site, and follow the recommendations. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
