I completed training aver a year ago, then life and my back got in the way and I haven't flown. I recently started kiting again preparing for flying again in the next few weeks. I try to kite for an hour every day the weather allows, which has been 5 out of 7 days a week for the last 3 weeks. Each time I kite, I try another packing method I have seen on KZfaq or I learned in training. What you show in this video is essentially what I learned in training and I believe I have decided it is the best way for me. Thanks for the simple, easy to follow video reminding me of the details for this method. I spent an hour kiting today but the winds were variable from zero to 7 mph so I could reverse the wing up, but a few seconds later, the wind would die and down comes the wing. I do have pretty good control over it now. Three weeks ago I was relearning basics and the wing was everywhere but where I wanted it. I packed the win (Ozone 30m Mojo PWR 2) as shown in your video and I think it's the easiest and fastest for me. I hope to hit the beach (I am in Orlando, FL) this weekend for some more stable and steady winds to try keeping the wing up for more than 30 seconds at a time. Thanks again for the video!

Thanks a lot. Highly informative and practical to use.

Great info for all pilots

Best instructional video on packing the wing I've seen.

Had to watch this again. Thought I had absorbed the lesson, but after last night I realized I needed to review, will probably have to review all your videos. Thanks again.

Absolutely excellent video! That's how I pack my wing, BUT it took me a year to figure out what you demonstrated in 5 minutes. THANKS!

thanks I would love to see a video of you unpacking the wing

Awesome video!!

Great content! Thank you for this.

great vid for the newbies !

Man, this is the best. Very helpful. Thank you.

Hey I love your videos. Very thorough with attention to detail and no shortcuts. I recently bought an Advance Fastpack bag (see video link), and I’ve been employing your method which not only makes for a neat unfolding of the leading edge at launch but also, my risers are consistently trouble free. However I have one apprehension about your method. It concerns holding the leading edge battens between the knees during the trailing edge and other glider parts “stuffing” process. Namely I have noticed how the fabric balloons out and ultimately, even after the collected battens are placed flat at a 90 degree angle on top in the center, and then additional fabric is piled on top, the ballooning continues. Therefore it seems clear that we are choking the air exit at the leading edge as we are stuffing the glider into the bag - first by the knee action and second after the battens are laid flat. In both cases, we are not allowing the air to escape from the internal wing structures and essentially we are forcing the air through the fabric, thus encouraging increased porosity by force and thereby shortening the life of the fabric. Ideally, for a long wing life, we should work the air from the trailing edge towards the open leading edges as we do during concertina packing. There may be an argument that the fast pack is not the primary packing method and is only used during certain times, like successive launches, but some people use the fast pack as their primary method. My guess is that such people will find an increased development of fabric porosity and hence prematurely shortened glider life. I want to use a method like yours, but without the fabric ballooning so much. Take a look at the Advance fast pack video example, notice how he works the trailing edge into the bag while the leading edge is relatively open. Moreover, there is little sign of the fabric ballooning at any point during the packing process. The leading edges however, are not paid attention to as you do. So do we have to choose between leading edge integrity or fabric longevity? I also don’t have luck with leaving the harness connected to the risers like in the example video. For some reason this always seems to complicate riser unpacking at launch. Check this video to see what I’m talking about: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d8ppqpB1x7DboJc.htmlsi=H1ecZNy4WJUgV56i I hope you have a chance to comment. Thanks, Steve :)
