LOL , excellent!

Thanks for all the help, Glad to hear that packing and repacking, sloppily atm but improving, is not going to damage my canopy. Will defiantly make sure it is packed neatly before hurling myself out of a flying chariot. James

Thanks for the advice, What is a sloppy pack job? ie What should I not do, to prevent damage etc? How much persuasion can I use? The first thing I will do when I get to the dz is find a packer and bribe him with beer to coach me. Until then I just wanna use my time as effectively as possible but not end up damaging my main...

Yes I have read that it helps get smaller pack size, so might be the way forward. I have read "top skin damage" is possible with this packing method. Not really sure how this occurs etc hence the thread. James

I just got a brand new Hornet 170

Cheers for the upside, Is that the postman.... Anybody do advent calanders for rigs ? James

Is there any disadvantage to ScothGaurding? besides the cost of the can? James

Agreed there does not seem to be much difference between them but enough for them to justify a name change (and price increase). I just can't help thinking that in a few years when I might wish to move onto a different (size etc) rig that the resale value will be less with a new version out there. I guess it is a pain that I have yet to pay for new container and it is not even that latest available James

[rant] I am fuming !!!! I have not yet even received my new G3 and it has already been superseded! I would have at least expected Mirage, as a minimum, to have given forewarning of the G4 allowing then customers the choice of either the G3 or to hold on for the new G4. I know of two other people who ordered their G3 after me... [/rant] James

I'll second that the sooner the better, just do it, be warned though if you are like me you will be addicted from the moment you exit the plane

Just got a new expert 1 pin Cypres and was trying to work out what it should come with (passing the time until my rig arrives next month
