Regardless of pilot preference we
recommend alternating the packing
methods a little every time, especially
around the middle of the canopy, as this
area is particularly exposed to mechanical

on the compression bag before folding
along the chord ā this will protect against
soil abrasion.
In order to prolong the life of the ASS
battens we recommend the following
procedure when folding the canopy in the
chord-wise direction:
