  1. Please read the story of the sorry accident which happened last week in Deland. One of the victims was heavily wounded as his highly loaded reserve smacked his unconscious body on the runway. You should always have in mind that thanks to your Cypres you may be flying that reserve unconscious or heavily wounded. Downsize your main as much as you want, but your reserve is a backup: be more conservative with it. Rather look into suggestions of switching manufacturers as to allow a small main with a bigger reserve.
