Stretch the rig and parachute out so that the reserve flaps of the container face up.
It is advisable to weight down the container so that it doesn‘t slide so easily during packing.
1.
Set the brakes of the main steering lines by
pulling the line down until the fingertrapped
loop in the steering line is below the ring on
the riser. Then the tip of the steering toggle
can be
Inserted in the loop below the ring on the ri-
ser.
On the Contrail 390, the secondary flairs are
not
set.
Grasp the front and back suspension line
groups between the fingers and separate
them, in this way pushing the slider to the top
of the lines against the stabilizers.
Pay attention that there is no twist, line-over
or line-through the right or left suspension li-
ne groups.
2.Now find the openings to all the cells. Start
with an outside end cell. Pull each cell (both
sections) completely out. Be careful that no
cell is overlooked or dropped. And put the
complete Nose between your knees.
