I'd like to get some additional info on packing parachutes.
I'm beginning the long haul toward L2 and am planning dual deployment. Some questions:
1. When does a recovery bag come into play?
2. Ive seen two kinds of packing. One is the z-fold (ala PML) and the other is rolled with the lines wrapped around the chute.
3. I've read talk about using small fragile rubber bands to hold the shrouds coiled until deployment.
Any comments. tip, references, or ideas are welcome.
Thanx
