Assembling
Do the same operation symetrically in relation to the
rst piece of adhesive foam.
Parachute preparation and installation
Remove the parachute from its pocket and unfold it
totally.
A parachute properly stocked and aerated, without
being permanantly held in a constant pressure allows
a faster and a more ecient deployment.
Make sure that the lines are not entangled.
Hold the lines with something heavy like a ballast or
anything at your disposal.
Arrange on both sides of the lines the parachute
panels.
Then place all the panels on one side.
Afterwards toggle them one by one on the other
side. This operation allows to properly place the fab-
rics for an optimal opening.

ation with the other side.
The second S is now placed on top of the rst one.
Firmly hold the whole thing.
Do several S in the way of the parachute length, as
shown on the picture.
