RIGGING BREAK- TROUGHS

Free Bag Design - Wings Aerial System is equipped with a true molar free bag that is designed for riggers by a rigger. This unique split bag design allows riggers of all experience levels to easily fill the ears of the free bag, maximizing space, which allows for neater closure of the container. The no velcro line snag pouch will avoid that pesky problem of having velcro touching the reserve lines which causes fraying. No other system on the market is as rigger friendly as the Wings free bag.

Rigger's Free Bag
A true molar free bag design. The free bag that is designed for riggers by a rigger. No velcro line snag pouch, anti line twist configuration and split bag design which allows maximum use of the free bag space, will quickly win the approval of riggers industry wide.

Reserve Pilot Chute - In an effort to create a reserve pilot chute that provides a speedy deployment as well as dependability, given any presentation to the wind, we have found a solution. Various and extensive testing has resulted in the Wings pilot chute which is almost 80% F-111 and 20% mesh. The idea behind this design was that many times the skydiver is not in a perfect "belly to earth" position when deploying his reserve. This design offers a pilot chute that will create drag from any angle allowing the reserve to be deployed equally as fast given any position.

	Before you start folding the canopy, spread the slider grommets and keep them flat.
	This is another picture to show the slider grommets flat and spread.
	Since we recommend to really fill the ears of the freebag, the first fold has to be short. There is also difference between canopies. For example the PD canopies are longer then the Precision canopies. So for the longer reserves you can make a double fold. and still have enough fabric to fill the ears on the freebag. This picture shows a double fold.
	This is an example of a single fold for the shorter canopies.
	This picture shows how most of the canopy is folded into the ears. It seems bulky but it needs to be in order to fill the freebag correctly.
	Canopy in the freebag. Note how all of it is full. And there is a crease in the middle of the packjob to make room for cypres and the reserve bridle.
	Freebag center grommet should line up with the bottom grommet of the container.
	This is a technique we use to make sure that the freebag is seated deep enough in the container.
	After closing the flaps, you need to form a nest for the reserve pilot chute spring. This is one way of doing it.
	Make room for the reserve bridle.
	Fold most of the bridle under the sideflaps, inserting the ends about 1" past the edge of the side flap. Leave about 45" of bridle out of the stack.
	Compress the Pilot chute spring, and make sure to put the fabric in between the springs.
	All the pilot chute material should be hidden after the pilot chute is collapsed.
	Fold the leftover bridle into a stack and slide the tip of it under the cap.
	After closing the top flap, the center flap should almost reach the grommet. If the center flap grommet is more then 1.5" short, that could be an indication of too much fabric in the center of the bag and not enough in the ears. This picture shows the ideal distance to allow slight tension to midflap after closing.
	Turn the pin sideways to make it easier to seal the container. Also note the top flap folding.
	Pack Job is Done!
