Packing Your glider
Try to pack your Discovery-3 as loosely as the rucksack allows, because every fold
weakens the cloth. Special care should be taken about the rib reinforcements. Fol

low this scheme:
Spread the glider on the ground the bottom surface up. Put all the lines onto the canopy. The risers can be
placed both at the leading or at the trailing edge.
Fold the canopy from the tips to center. Let the air
come out from the canopy through the air intakes.
Press the canopy gently from the trailing to
the leading edge to bring out the residual
air. Then roll it from the trailing to the
leading edge.
Avoid packing the glider if it is wet or
contains the abrasive particles (sand, ice...).
If the glider was packed wet and/or contains
abrasive staff -- unpack it, let it dry and
remove the trash from the canopy as soon
as possible.
