The instructions have you loop-tip the parachute shroud lines to the center of the pod tube. Follow with a wrap of masking tape. Masking tape is paper and will easily tear.
TIP: Instead of paper tape, cut a square of clear plastic from the excess from the peel and stick decal sheet. This will be much stronger.
The shroud lines were tied towards the back end of the pod.
With a used C6-3 engine in place I couldn't tie the parachute lines at the balance point. I ended up tying it towards the back so the pod would fall at more of an angle.
This step of the instructions say to round the pod fins now. Why now?
It was easier to round the fins before gluing onto the rear of the pop pod.
