I almost don't want to tug test on the shroud lines. If they break easily I'll replace them with #10 cotton embroidery thread.
They broke!
I'll usually work on the pre-assembled parachutes.
The shroud line tie hole is always a rough punched tear in the sheet.
The rotary punch makes a cleaner hole.
TIP: Be sure to use some card stock behind the sheet parachute for a cleaner punch.
The fins got a single application of CWF and sanding.
Then a fairly heavy coat of Duplicolor Filler/Primer and sanding.
Two steps to fill the grain and done!
Fillets were added using Titebond Nor-Run, No Drip glue.
Thin masking paint strips were stuck around the inside of the tube edge.
With a dowel wand inserted in the engine mount some paper towel pieces were pressed into the engine mount recess. Notice the end edge of the tube is still exposed and will get painted.
