Vashon Valkyrie II Build, Part 17, Parachute B

There were enough round tape disks to attach all eight lines. I was surprised to find out the Mylar disks were still sticky and usable!

I tied a knot at the ends of the four lines. The knot was set at the edge of the round tape disk. The disks were pressed on the corners of the Mylar.

I did a tangle-free shroud line attachment.

The finished, retro 12" parachute.






The shroud lines were tied to a snap swivel.
A round elastic cord (like the original) was tied to a screw eye. This is a BMS balsa cone, The screw eye was screwed into the side, not centered. The tail of the shock cord was set into the open plug hole to keep it out of the way when the nose cone is slid into the parachute tube.
