Parachutes

Assembly: For standard kit parachutes follow these five simple steps:

First: Cut along the dotted lines on the plastic 'chute

Second: Apply the vinyl tape rings (there are six of them) to each corner of the 'chute.

Third: Using a sharp pencil, punch holes through the center of each of the tape rings.

Fourth: Cut the supplied shroud line into three equal strings, each twice as long as the 'chute's diameter

Fifth: Tie each end of the shroud line to each corner of the parachute.

Sixth: Tie the parachute to the nose cone's eyelet.
