Rocketarium Hydra Sandhawk Build Part 6, Parachute



The parachute gives the option of sizing it yourself.
You can pick from 15", 12" and 9" sizes.

The printed instructions are in the inset picture.
I wasn't sure about the reinforcement disks at first.
I had some trouble separating them from the backing paper.
I ended up using a knife blade tip to remove them. Simply bending the backing didn't release the rings.

They are clear plastic, more like a disk of Scotch tape, plenty strong when in place.



You'll need a card stock backing to punch holes through the flexible parachute material.

You cut the three (doubled) shroud lines to length.
