Assembling Install 2 CHC M3x12 screws with M3 nuts. Place the servomotor. The sprocket has to be on the left side, as shown on the picture. Secure it with 2 M3 nuts. Use the horizontal horn ( the other horns provided with the servomotor won’t be used).

Assembling Attach the line provided to the tube base by passing the line through the loop. Take out the other end of the line on the opposit side. Put the carbon piston on the spring. Attach the piston on the spring with the 3 plastic clamps provided.

Assembling Pass the line through the piston. Prepare 1 CHC M3x8 with a large M3 washer. Arrange the line loop on the screw, as shown on the picture. Insert the screw with the line into the piston middle hole. Screw the arming rod. It is also advised to use some threadlock for this operation.

Assembling The arming rod has to stand out at the base of the tube.. Lock the arming rod with the “Remove Before Flight” pin. Arrange the horn on the servomotor. Push it up on the highest position. Then place the horn in the posi- tion shown on the picture.
Assembling Do the same operation symetrically in relation to the first piece of adhesive foam. Parachute preparation and installation Remove the parachute from its pocket and unfold it totally. A parachute properly stocked and aerated, without being permanantly held in a constant pressure allows a faster and a more efficient deployment.

Parachute preparation and installation With the first half, do a simple S. And hold those pan- els with a random mass. Flip the whole thing delicately and do the same oper- ation with the other side. The second S is now placed on top of the first one. Firmly hold the whole thing.

Parachute preparation and installation Arrange the parachute inside the tube, and make sure that the lines and the parachute trailing edge are placed upwards the tube. Never placed the lines in the bottom of the tube. A piston blocking situation and a non deploye- ment could occur.

Parachute preparation and installation Slide the 8 on top of the parachute. Cover the tube with the neopren cap. Tighten it firmly. Note: Make sure that the fixation line is correctly placed between the tube and the cap. Never place the fixation line through the cap. O p a l e - P a r a c h u t e s .

Parachute preparation and installation In locking status the piston is locked with the pin. The servomotor horn can have an angle from 45 to 70° (the angle formed by the servomotor plan and the horn). In ejection status, the angle formed has to be -45°. The pin fully release the arming rod.
