Insert the accordion folds into the booster section. Then, on the forward side of the protector (toward
the avionic bay) lay some shockcord into the KEVLAR® protector, then lay the chute in there too.
booster Pad
Av bay drogue Laying cord and drogue in pad
Fold as shown and insert into booster. Attach exposed end of shockcord to avionics bay eyebolt with a
quiklink.. Now slide booster and upper section together. The drogue system is now packed.
Note: Booster and upper section at time of flight should fit such that when the rocket is held upright by
the upper section, the booster should just begin to slide off. Adjust with tape on launch day if
necessary.
Moving to the main recovery system, as with the drogue, make a knot and loop in the shroud lines of
the main chute. Then attach main chute and shockcord to eyebolt in the nosecone with a quiklink. Fold
main recovery system into upper section in a similar manner as the drogue system. Then insert
nosecone. The nosecone fit at time of flight should be such that when the rocket is held up by the
nosecone, the rocket should just begin to slide off the nosecone.
