velo 111

When packing the velo 111 do you do a complete S-fold or how do you do it ? I have found its a but small to do that. Just wanting some suggestions

What does 'complete' mean?

On a non-xbraced canopy I use two S folds. The first is folding the slider grommet area up and on top of the warning label (more or less), and the second is folding the top of the coccon up on top of the fist fold.

For an X braced canopy, where the coccon is shorter and fatter, I use a single S fold where I fold the top of the coccon up on top of the warning label (pretty much).

Just to be clear, each of the S fold described above are actually two folds, like one fold up and one fold back over, resulting in a single S fold. It's tough to descirbe in writing, but I think you know what I mean.

On the velo do you use the warring tag as center of the tell. To me it looks sanity it is not the center. But could be wrong.

When packing Velos, I only do one s-fold (as Dave described above) and, yes, the warning label is the center of the tail. The center of the tail on a Velo is midway between two seams, in contrast to many other canopies where the center is marked by a seam.
