Hooknswoop 19 #26 June 15, 2004 QuoteSo you're saying it should be right then left for a Javelin ? Right. By closing the right flap before the left, it hides the right flap under the left. Closing it the other way puts the right flap on top which can snag the PC bridle causing a delay or PC in tow. Derek Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meatbomb 0 #27 June 15, 2004 Flap Closing Order for Javelins: Manual says: Bottom, Top, Left, Right. Common Sense says: Bottom, Top, Right, Left. I say: Follow the manufacturer's recommendation. That way, if the worst happens, you're covered.--- Swoopert, CS-Aiiiiiii! Piccies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hooknswoop 19 #28 June 15, 2004 You can call Sun Path and they will 'OK' 'right-left'. I wouldn't want a mal because I followed the manufacturer's instructions and dis-regarded common sense. It is considered an alteration to change how the canopy is packed, but a rigger, someone under the supervision of a rigger, or the next person to jump it may alter a main canopy, so it is legal to close it right-left.

johnny1488 1 #29 June 15, 2004 QuoteThat way, if the worst happens, you're covered. Covered by what? The "no warranty, written or implied" that every manufacturer puts with all their products? I've been closing my javys right left for 800+ jumps without a problem. I wont expose myself to a possible mal to conform with the manual on such a small matter when I know my way will work.

mr2mk1g 10 #30 June 15, 2004 QuoteCovered by what? By the fact that you're packing in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Say you were packing someone elses rig and they had to cutaway and sue you as the packer. You didn't pack in accordance with the manufactureres instructions. You're suddenly a bad boy. Even though you know that doing it the other way round is at least equally, or even more safe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
