8. Changing the Pilot Chute Loop and Cap
8.1
The 311 Wedge Parachute Assem
-
bly has a Pilot Chute Cap with a
Spandura Rim. This Spandura Rim
is hand-tacked to the top of pilot
chute at 90º angles to loop openings.
By snipping this hand tacking, you
can easily remove the cap and lift
it off.
8.2
Once the cap is removed, remove the
loop by snipping the hand tacking.
Install a new loop by hand tacking
from the bottom side up, then back
through down, up on the other side,
then down again on the opposite
edge, followed by a good surgeons
knot.
Note!
The Pilot Chute Loop must be placed as close to dead center as possible.
Being off even a couple of degrees may cause Pilot Chute to not sit properly
on packed container.
8.3
If you are replacing the cap, you
must make two small holes where
the loops will come through the
Spandura. Do this near the seam in
the Binding tape.
