Recovery System:

55. Cut the parachute out around the outer line

so that the parachute is 12" in diameter. Place a

reinforcing ring at each of the corners and using

a pencil or hobby knife, puncture the center of the

ring.

56. Cut the shroud lines into three equal sections,

as shown. Then tie the shroud lines through the

reinforcement rings and around the outside of the

parachute as shown. Apply a small dab of glue to

each of the knots and allow the parachute to dry

before installing in the rocket.

57. Once the rocket is completely dry, tie the

shock cord to the nose cone and apply tape to

the remaining tail to prevent the knot from coming

loose.

58. To attach the parachute, collect the three

shroud lines from the parachute, pass them

through the loop on the nose cone, and pull the

parachute back through the ends, pulling the knot

tight.

Finishing:

Finishing a scale model can be a complicated process depending upon how exact the modeler wishes to be in

duplicating a particular prototype vehicle. The process described here is for a rough approximation of the standard

Black Brant VC paint scheme with black, silver, and gray over the majority of the rocket; it does not represent a

particular prototype. While the overall process would remain similar for specific prototypes, additional steps may be

required depending upon the complexity of masking required.
