Plan to have sufficient loops for scheduled reserve repacks. Then the loop(s) in the
spare pocket will always be available in the event of a real reserve deployment and
repack.
Replace the spare loop(s) as soon as possible.
Stowing the canopy:
When stowing the reserve canopy into the freebag, be sure to take into account
that:
1.
The processing unit is located in the middle of the wall between reserve and
main compartments of the container.
2.
On one-pin containers in which the release unit has been placed above the pilot
chute, there will be extra thickness (8.4mm) caused by the release unit's placement
on top of the pilot chute.
Try to pack the reserve so that CYPRES' visibility is minimized.
In addition, we suggest that you prepare one further reserve loop of the
appropriate length when installing CYPRES, and leave it together with the
disc and a CYPRES pull-up (2 with a two-pin CYPRES and two softbodkins
with two-pin Pop Tops) in the nylon pocket along with the stowed cable. This
will provide you with a new loop and pull-up whenever you need one.
