Gee, where have I seen this parachute design before?
I'd place the reinforcement disks towards the outside corner of the chute.
The printed placement disk outlines are pretty big.
A toothpick is supplied to punch holes in the plastic.
I like a cleaner assembly so I punch a round hole using the rotary punch.
Set some scrap cardstock under the chute plastic for a clean, round punch.
The shroud line spool is pretty smart.
Hold the side (over the punched hole) with your thumb and index finger.
As you pull the red shroud line with your right hand, the spool wobbles back and forth releasing the line.
No tangles!
I actually enjoy assembling parachutes -
Especially after I started using ling tweezers to tie the knots.
I use a simple square knot - not a "Granny".
Square knots will not come undone. If you don't know how to tie a square knot: CLICK HERE
