2. Roll up
t h e p a r a-
chute. Then
slide up the
protector to-
w a r d s t h e
c h u t e . D o
NOT slide the protector all the way to the
chute, but instead stop about 1 foot away. Then
lay some GLR Kev-
lar® Shock Cord
into the protector,
then lay the chute
in the pad too.
3. Fold the protec-
t o r a r o u n d t h e
chute like a burrito and insert into airframe.
You must position the heat pad so that it pro-
tects the chute from scorching. Fold is as tight
as possible. Should you find the “burrito” to
t i g h t f o r
t h e a i r-
f r a m e ,
s h a k e
some corn
starch on
t h e “ b u r-
rito” and it should slide much easier.
4. Slide the GLR Pinnacle Nosecone onto air-
frame. The GLR Pinnacle Nosecone should be
snug but not tight onto the airframe. If the
GLR Pinnacle Nosecone is too loose, use a
piece of masking tape on the shoulder of the
GLR Pinnacle Nosecone to snug the fit. If too
tight sand gently with 240 grit sandpaper. Re-
member, the chute is deployed when HOT
gases from ejection charge expand in the air-
frame, popping the GLR Pinnacle Nosecone
off, so you want a snug fit - not to tight, not to
loose.

1. Begin by marking a line along the length of
the airframe section. Angle aluminum (1" by
1”) is particularly helpful because when laid on
a tube, it allows one to mark a straight line on a
curved surface. You may want to make it a per-
manent part of your rocket toolbox. Make sure
