flyhy 0 #1 October 29, 2003 I just started packing my sabre psycho and get very nice openings :) But why do you actually fold inn the 'ears' on top of the nose and bring the steering-/D-lines even closer to the nose (lineover?)??? Could I instead lie the canopy on the ground like on a pro pack, fold the corners away from the nose onto the tail and THEN turn it around to roll it up?

phoenixlpr 0 #2 October 29, 2003 You forget something. You had a 180degree twist. So the "ears" not on the top of the nose, they are under/behind it. I dont get it anyway. Ive seen a sabre propacked, he folded the 'ears' on the top of the nose. He told me, thats accepted by PD and psycho pack is not recommended by PD.

flyhy 0 #3 October 29, 2003 yea, you twist the canopy before you lie it down, so the nose is pointing up and you fold the ears in onto the nose (rolled up tail edge). What I want to do is put the canopy on the ground nose down, fold inn the edges and THEN twist it around, roll it all up, into the bag and then turn it back, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phoenixlpr 0 #4 October 30, 2003 Yeah, your are right with the noze. I donno. This propack vs psychopack has been started 8 years ago. I believe thats working as it was invented. Im going to use as soon my mentor let me use :). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZigZag 0 #5 October 30, 2003 Psycho packing is just another alternative to packing a canopy that is new and slick. But "pro" packing can be just as susceptible to the dreaded line-over. Psycho-packing affords the packer-jumper a view of where the steering lines are placed, but they need to be placed behind the stabilizers, in their natural position, aft, behind the nose, clear of the stabs and nose!!! You cannot rush a psycho-pack, unless you have a good 3-dimensional understanding of where your suspension lines belong. You should not rush your pack-job anyway. You should have a good understanding of this even if you are pro- or flat packing. Basics, once again. It might be a good idea to direct questions about the psycho-pack back to New Zealand. Good luck. Maybe ICARUS could help you!!! 3-D; 3-D; 3-D; think about that airfoil of yours... imagine... spend as much time with it as you might with your body-position in a track....
