Reserve issues

Post by AngusB »

I've tried searching the internet & checking shops but can't find anything.
Does anyone have or know where I can find a manual for packing a Team 5 Orange ST in English please? :x

I found this but it's in German: http://www.krilo.net/pdf/Orange-St-M.pdf

And this on YouTube which doesn't show use of elastic bands & is a bit vague: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daX-0NfEZso

Hi Angus, why not come to the Ratho repack and be shown how to do it properly. Money well spent and I have space in the car. Currently tavelling with trevor so room for one more, possibly two...

Sounds great but what do I do if they don't know how to repack it & can't read German?! :lol:

Angus..............I'm heading along to Ratho as well I don't Sprechen Sie Deutsch but I can give you a hand with packing the reserve, most are pretty similar to repack and you get a chance to test it out to see if it is packed correctly :idea:
Feel the fear and do it anyway!

Trevor. As I understand it, Angus has never thrown his reserve before?

That is correct Ron, it's never been out of the bag since I had it installed.
I want to get it out to check it but haven't been given the all clear from the doctors about my broken arm...as much as I'd like to go tearing down a zip line to check it works properly.
Chris, if you can help that'd be great. I'll bring the German instructions with me for a laugh. For your information though, it's a steerable (headbang)

Angus you can use google translate to do a basic translation
If Acro was easy they'd call it Cross Country

Thanks to Ronnie Freeman it's all packed up ready for flying & hopefully not to be used (handshake) (beer)
I'm still persuing the packing tool & English manual if I can get hold of one.
