Edit: Added photos and info on large (24+ foot) parachutes later.
Following is a sequence of photos that documents the packing of three different deployment bags. Two are custom built for specific airframe sizes, the third is an off-the-shelf bag, with modifications.
The two custom bags were designed and sewn by an FAA licensed Senior Rigger. The modifications were made the same individual.
Two of them (the bag for 7.5" tube, and the modified commercial bag) are really easy to pack. The third (for 3" tube) is a bit more difficult -- fitting an R12 into 9" of 3" tube results in a pretty stiff bag.
