* The parachute needs to be installed into the canister/airplane right when it arrives from shipping. Else the parachute will reshape from a cube into a sphere and it won't easily fit. Even when you install it right away, the sides are bulged out but pushed back as you tighten the screws. It helps to have a large clamp that pushes the two side panels in while you get the screws threaded. | * The parachute needs to be installed into the canister/airplane right when it arrives from shipping.

* The shackles are attached to the bag with a strap that has white stitching. When the bag arrives, those straps run through the shackles centered. This will make the shackles sit too high on hard ridges towards the edge. The lid will not close down. If you push the shackles towards the center, with the strap now running off center, the shackles will sit down since they are off the hard ridge. | * The shackles are attached to the bag with a strap that has white stitching.
