Fitting the ballistic chute (part 1)
If you have ordered a chute with your kit, the factory will have marked the position and shape of
the hole with marker pen on the top of your aircraft.
 Mask over the area with packaging tape to stop the surface getting damaged when you
cut the chute opening with a jig saw.
 Drill 4 small holes and a slot to start the cut with a jigsaw. Be sure to measure the
jigsaw blade width first and use a drill with the same drill piece thickness as the jigsaw
