Pleased to have a go with Angus's reserve - Team five ST Ragallo

This was a first for me but very similar to the Beamer 2

Packing them is not too bad when you understand how they deploy.. they do take a bit more time but well worth it ! Angus can now fly 8)

Also enjoyed Colins talk on Acro

Huge thanks to Ron for packing my simple reserve!
In the time 3 of us stood scratching our heads at the Ratho repack Ron got it packed up & ready to throw, cheers!
Big thanks to the Corner House for being patient with us too...I think there may be interest there for some flying experiences.
Thanks also to Colin for a step towards insanity, I've been watching SIV videos on YouTube & thinking it's got to be worth a go...note to self, don't buy an R10!
