To balance with the trim colors, the nose cone was spray painted aluminum.
The instructions call for .40 oz. of clay weight to be added to the payload section.
Clay was weighed and pressed it into the upper payload section.
The upper section isn't used as a payload, so the nose cone was glued in place.
I won't get into any boring parachute making here. (You're welcome)
A 12" Semroc parachute was made and tied to a snap swivel.
Normally I'd attach the parachute 1/3rd the way down the elastic shock cord from the screw eye. Because the upper section is longer than normal, the snap swivel was joined at the screw eye.
