    You only did one landing every time on training flights? Or are you being humorous and I'm being dense? Well for me, my flight hours have always been just behind my number of jumps. I had 69 TO+LDGs when I took my first solo flight, and at the time I was flying about 3-4 times/month.

    I too have seen the problem being described here. I bought my Wings container used, but fairly new (it had ~50 jumps on it) and I noticed that the reserve flap tuck tab would become "untucked" sometimes after doing some freeflying. Some jumps later, I had the reserve repacked, and the problem seemed to go away. More recently, I had the reserve repacked again, and I noticed that the reserve tab started to come out again on some freefly jumps. Also, I noticed that the poptop wasn't sitting as cleanly as it could be against the rest of the reserve container- I could even see a bit of the PC fabric. So I took it back to my rigger and they opened and reseated/adjusted the reserve in the pack tray, as well as shortening the closing loop slightly. Although I haven't put that many jumps on it yet to realistically say the problem is gone, I have not seen it since.
