Drive for several miles, zig left than zag right, cross Route 29 and follow detour signs to stay on 216. After you go around traffic loop under construction, look for the school to your right.

Schedule

• 4:30-7:00 : Individual parachute repacks under the guidance of experienced pilots.
• Gophers will be sent out for Carry-out Food.
• 7:00-9:00: Glider Tuning Seminar by Dennis Pagen

Note that we will not practice throwing our parachutes, as this entails finding a free gym. Good luck.

What to Bring:

• Parachute with Harness
• Parachute Manual
• Bungies and carabiners for stretching out the parachutes
• Padded weights long enough to stretch across a parachute. example: sand in a ziplock, put inside a tube sock.
• Lengths of string to tie parachute in position during strategic phases of the packing procedure. Make sure these come off!

We will supply small rubber bands and bungee retaining loops.

Any suggestions are appreciated. For information contact Brian Vant-Hull: 410-889-1646 or brianvh@umd5.umd.edu
