It’s now time to close the Drop Pod. Please grab the metal loop and make it go through the front frame of the chassis
and place it the way shown on the photo below.
You will simply need to operate your switch to drop the parachute. Indeed, the servomotor’s arm will let the Drop Pod
open when moving down close to the plate, thus letting the parachute open by itself thanks to the system inertia.
4. Parachute folding
It is really important that you properly fold the parachute every single time you use it to ensure it will be open quickly
and be efficient the very next time you need it.
First, please spread the parachute and make sure no lines are tangled up, and then inflate it.
Then spread it again and gather all the lines. Hold them in position using some ballast if possible.
