    Don't you find removing twists in the brake lines more difficult if you're still wearing the rig and ducking swoopers?

    Stow the toggles in the keepers immediately after landing. When you pack, check for and remove any twists in the brake lines and set your brakes properly. If you leave your toggles flapping around it will put twists in your brake lines and it makes you look sloppy. If you set your brakes in the landing area, you probably won't take the time to remove any twists that are already there. Twisted brake lines are shorter than untwisted ones which alters the trim of your brakes and can cause malfunctions. There's no excuse for them.

    Thanks, that's what I thought.

    On a Skyhook equipped 2009 M-Series Vector 3 V350, the left hand cutaway cable has to pass through the loop on the end of the Collins Lanyard as per the instructions here. But on mine, there is a yellow loop stitched to the Collins Lanyard labelled "Pass cutaway cable through this loop only" that isn't shown in the instructions. Now my cutaway cable goes through the loop on the end of the black Collins RSL, not the yellow loop. I'm assuming this yellow loop is a modification on newer Vectors and should be used instead of the loop on the end of the Collins Lanyard itself. Is this correct? Does it even matter?
