To flake the tail, grasp the small portion of stabilizer between the D and tail on one side
and pull the fabric outward keeping the seam in the center and going straight up and
down. This should place the outer upper control line to the center. Continue by
stacking all of the seam to the tail in the center, pulling the fabric out and away from
the center. Use the seams as a guide. These will be half-cell folds. Continue all the way
across and include the center cell tail pocket. Remember, not every fold will
incorporate a control line. Do this on both sides until all seams are on top of one
another and in the center. Make certain that the canopy is completely symmetrical at
this time.

The Tale Gate (BR) reefing device is used to help reduce brake line malfunctions
during no slider jumps. The Tail Gate helps keep the lines in the center of the canopy;
the lines included in the Tail Gate are shown in the diagram above.
Refer to figures 3a and 3b. The slot for the Tail Gate is on one of the center C lines
approximately 4” down from the line attachment tab. Find this slot and place the Tail
Gate into it. When utilizing the Tail Gate, you should use a rubber band

Gate. Using the lark’s head is not recommended for extreme low-speed deployments
as it could cause a hang up in release of the Tail Gate.
