Testing, and repacking my own reserve
Posted: Thu Aug 15, 2019 11:41 pm
I tested out my reserve, to see how much distance it needs to open. Not the most scientific, but still usefull data.
One of the commenters suggested I re-pack it myself, so here I go. I plan on doing more tests after each re-pack, and when I am confident with it, then I may fly with it (or sell it, since I have another newer one)
(click on the pix to see them oriented correctly)
Step 1, airing it out. step 2, seperating the lines Step 3, folding it up Here are my results....I ran out of rubber bands, and it certainly doesn't look right. I will probably test it like this and compare it to the above video.
