16. Locate the three
Toothpicks
that came with your kit.
Using the template provided on the Fin Pattern Sheet, cut
these to 2 inches long. These are glued to the Fin Tips,
as shown in
Figure 16,
to provide necessary strength to
the Fin Tips and because they just look so cool.

Locate your
Parachute
,
Shroud Lines
(white thread) and
Tape Disks.
Referring to the following steps, construct
your parachute

described.

Tape Disks
. Find a circle on a corner of the
parachute and stick on one Tape Disk as shown in
Figure

Repeat for the other 5 corners.

Tape Disks
are used to provide added strength to the corners of
the parachute, where the parachute lines (shroud lines) will be
attached)

Figure 19
shows you how you can use a hole punch to
punch holes in the center of each tape disk.

Locate the white cotton
Shroud Line
(it is the bundle of
white string held together with tape). Carefully remove the
tape and unravel the thread without tangling it. Referring
to
Figure 20,
cut this thread into 3 equal length shroud
lines, each about 32” long.
ADULTS
may wish to help
with this step.
(
Thing-a-ma-FACT:
Shroud Lines
are the lines
that connect to the parachute to make it function properly)
.

tie one of the Shroud Lines to one
of the holes you made in a tape disk.
