cross country pilots. It has extremely fast opening characteristics. It was designed for situations involving
malfunction of reserve chute or cases when main reserve chute entangles with canopy itself.

It consit in a 33cm cylinder , 13cm in diameter, with possibility to attach instruments on top of optional - a container designed as instrument panel with map holder and compact 5l ballast pocket.
- Page 5 - it is necessary to throw away the container with as much force as possible to shorten the opening time [it is mandatory to throw away the handle along with container] Important : if MINIPLANE parachute rescue system is in its original front mount container it is possible to throw it away on either side with either hand - immediately after opening of RC you have to pull the main canopy towards yourself, so the RC and main canopy won’t tangle together which could cause failure of RC...

- Page 9 Both halves fold longitudinally into thirds : make first 1/3 fold under RC and second one on the top of RC - see photo [ folding RC into thirds to make Z shape - one third on top and other on bottom - improve speed and symmetry of opening] Straighten out all wrinkles on RC (which is folded into thirds), press out air and start folding -as shown on pictures and in step 1.
- Page 10 Another fold is done around and on top of the first one - as shown in the steps 2 & 3 - and continue after that with ‘Z’ folding upwards. Insert folded canopy into inner container and fold up lines into loops and secure them with rubber bands and insert them into pocket of container until you reach approx.
- Page 11 Close container with rubber loops and secure them with approx. 3-4 cm loops made from lines. Force needed to open container (slip the loops of lines out of rubber loops) should be in range of 300-900 g. The rest of lines, approx.120 cm, fold up into ‘figure8’ loops and secure them with rubber bands on outside of the container.

- Page 14 After, close container and secure it with two plastic pins. Folding of RC and closing of outer container have to be done carefully and slowly so that RC fits easily into outer container. Check the function of outer container. Attach RC to harness, and make practice toss in flying position. Force needed to pull out RC should not exceed 10 kg.
