    - 1x 1.8 m² Rescue parachute, with lines, strap and container - 1x Drop Pod for the Trike M2 - 1x Main frame carbon fiber plate for the Trike M2 - 1x Carbon fiber plate to hold the triggering servomotor - 3x screws with washers and nuts 2.
  • Page 3 Then assemble it as shown on the picture below. The servomotor won’t move at all thanks to this holding system. Then clip the Drop Pod designed for the Trike M2 on the rear side of the Trike.     R escue   S ystem   © Copyright   b y   O pale-­‐Paramodels   2 012    ...
  • Page 4 3. Parachute assembling We are now going to welcome the parachute onboard using the Drop Pod we have previously clipped on the chassis. To optimize your first opening, it is necessary to remove the lines closing the container. Make sure 3 or 4 lines are going through the elastic loop as shown on the picture below.
  • Page 5 Then, connect the small servomotors that will be used to release the Rescue 1.8 to your receiver. Assign an easily accessible switch on your radio control (rather a 2-position switch). Put the servomotor in the release position, and then attach the arm parallel to the carbon plate. Screw everything together.
  • Page 6 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.
  • Page 7 Separate every single fabric panel. Evenly distribute them to the right and the left (5 on each side). Then folds the panels the way shown on the picture below starting with the left panels, then do the exact same things for the right ones.
  • Page 8 Now we have the short side of the parachute folded, it is now time to fold it 3 times to get it fit in the container. The trailing edge of the parachute should be positioned on the opening side of the container. Grab the lines and wind them round your fingers till it looks like an 8 in order to store the lines in the container.
  • Page 9 Once the container is closed, use 3 or 4 lines to fully make sure it will stay closed till you want it to open. Please often check that the container is well closed and kind of locked thanks to the lines. Do not hesitate to ventilate and unfold your parachute if it is stored wet.
