chutingstar 1 #27 January 31, 2005 QuoteQuoteCheck Mike Gruwell's Mirage packing tips at http://www.chutingstar.com. In particular, fold the pilot chute fabric so as much as possible is under the bottom flap, minimizing the bulk under the side flaps. Mark ya, definatly check with mike. he is a master at packing mirage With the mod, you will have to build up the sides of the reserve container with pilot chute fabric. So don't favor the lower end of the pilot chute cap, as before. The Cypres cutter has added a gap between the #3, #4 and #5 flaps and the freebag, which will lead to wrinkles if the area isn't filled with pilot chute fabric or the loop is too long. I will post some updated steps and photos soon at the Chutingstar web site for Mirage containers post-mod. Give me a few days. I can help with any questions until then at 1-800-877-7199. I'm usually in the loft from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day. MikeChutingStar.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

parafredo 0 #29 February 3, 2005 I agree with that.It seems you have too much on shoulders.Material should be 80% bottom and 20% on top.That will really help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
