 Place both cover straps through the holes in the parachute's main holder and determine
how long each strap needs to be, so that the loop and hole meet in the middle
 Mark the cover straps with white pen at the point where the meet the parachute's main
holder.
 Then take the straps out, roll the end up to the white line, place it in a vice and apply
Loctite 406, so that the roll holds.
 Using a hot pin, singe both sides of the roll, puncture two holes into the roll and then add
two plastic ties.
Closing the parachute system:
 Lay out the parachute's support straps so that they cross just inside the parachute's main
holder. Apply strong adhesive tape, so that they are held down well.
 Coil the support straps into the main holder, install the covers traps and slide the rocket
assembly's pin through the loop.
