Sorry for all that confusion. Basically what I am asking is why is it necessary to flip the canopy 180 degrees before rolling it up? Why can't you just lay it down in the correct orientation as a normal pro-pack but instead of s-folding just roll it up and bag it without ever flipping it at all?

My bad, GLIDEANGLE. I did mean Precision Aerodynamics.

I am a newbie at packing ZP canopies so I just learned the psycho packing method. However, there are a couple of things that concern me: 1. Once it is bagged and ready to close the container, the slider grommets seem to always end up directly under the closing pin causing a not-so-smooth surface under the pin. 2. There is a lot of material in front of the nose. Last night as I was practicing, a thought occurred to me. Once I flipped the canopy 180 degrees and layed it on the ground I pulled the corners of the tail across as shown on the PD website and got the air out of the canopy. Then I carefully picked the canopy up and flipped it back over 180 degrees taking the line twist back out. Then I folded my ears and rolled the canopy up like a normal psycho pack and bagged it up. This accomplished 2 things: 1. Slider Grommets are now in the bottom of the bag instead of the top. 2. All the material is now behind the nose instead of in front of it. Now the question. Does anyone see a problem with this packing technique that I am missing that could be a safety issue. Please tell me if you do so. Thanks for your input.

adobelover, I have a pilot 168 that I also am struggling to get into the bag. I have not tried psycho packing yet because I have read that I need a bridle extension placed between the canopy and D-bag before doing this. You say that you psycho pack your canopies. Do you have that extension or is it ok to just to pull the ring out as you are rolling the canopy?

Thanks for the info. Does it do a good job of cleaning the container?

I saw a guy at my DZ brushing his container with some kind of small brush to clean it. Can someone tell me what type of brush to use for this and whether or not it will damage the material in any way? Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the info guys. I know up until a week ago there was no problem getting there. But now it appears to not even exist. Thanks for the Phone number Chris.

Do you have a phone number? That's why I was trying to go to the website, to get the phone number. Just seemed easier than calling information.

Does anyone know what's going on with Precision Aerodynamics? I haven't been able to access their website for over a week now. Just says that site doesn't exist. Anyone else with this problem?
