TIP: Parachute Fix
The kit parachute had the start of a tear that was outside of the tape disk. This tear could spread and rip through the corner of the chute.
I took one of my permanent plastic disks and cut a slit through one side.
This was slipped over the shroud line with the slit towards the top of the torn area.
The disk was pressed over the torn paper disk.
The threaded side of the retainer ring was glued onto the engine mount tube using Epoxy glue.
The locking ring was spray painted gloss black.
TIP: The inside edge of the ring was blackened with a Sharpie to cover the gray where the spray paint didn't cover.
