Iwannabase26 0 #1 October 29, 2003 Hi Everyone, I'm looking for a tutorial (a *.pdf perhaps) concerning how to fold a main 260-270 ft. canopy. I'm near the graduation of an AFF course and I really want to learn how to do it profoundly. Thanks a lot, Ori from Israel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phoenixlpr 0 #2 October 29, 2003 Why do you need it? The easiest way is learn by do it. I really dont know where can you find docs about flatplack, you can find docs about propack in the owners manual of every canopy and psychopack along the docs of Icarus canopies. Im not sure that the last to method is simple for a beginner. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gus 1 #3 October 29, 2003 There's no substitute for having an actual person show you how but if you can get hold it then Parachuting: The Skydiver's Handbook is a great book with loads of useful info including instructions on pro packing (which may be difficult at first with such a large canopy). I think there's also something on the PD website in their library of docs. Do a search here as well, this has come up quite alot before. Are you not being taught packing as part of your aff course? Your instructors really are the best people to learn from. GusOutpatientsOnline.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kirils 1 #5 October 29, 2003 check out Aerodyne Internationals packing manual. It is well done. Also precision.aerodynamics.com/psycho/psysteps.htm is a good site to learn to psychopack. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
