Packing

HOP packs much the same as any other tandem canopy. Recommendations from our full-time packer are:

• Set brakes
• Line check/clear lines
• Hang on hook or over shoulder
• Clear cells
• Separate line groups - evenly flake cells
• Lower the slider - quarter slider.
• Nose of canopy placed in centre - not rolled.
• Stow loose steering/brake lines with rubber band on the trailing edge of the canopy to assist in preventing the occurrence of possible line overs and line burns on the canopy.
• Tightly roll the tail, approx. eight to ten times, particularly at the top.
• Lay canopy flat on the floor and S-fold it onto the deployment bag.
• Stow lines & pack into container as usual.
