The pieces of Basswood are cut to size and shaped to conform with the body of the rocket.

The angles are the slant on the 1st Canopy (pic #2)

The eye-screws are positioned so that they go into the openings on the sides of the canopy.

The screws were CA'd into the wood and then back-filled with epoxy.

Pic 32: Parachute Compartment

Here's where the size and weight become a problem. I can fit a 24" parachute into the side compartment, I need a 30" for just the nose cone. I'm looking for a thin parachute.

Pic 33: Parachute Compartment

The plan is for the left parachute to be for just the nose cone and the right for the body of the rocket.
