Installed Blowout Cover

TLDR

• Installed Parachute Blowout Cover

Details

The last thing on the parachute installation is the blowout cover.

I laid the cover on top of the parachute opening and set the rivets.

Then as expected, there are small seams here and there between the blowout cover and the fuselage skin. My plan is to use some permatex to seal the small gap after riveting so I started this work.

Before applying more gasket, I used some painter tape to mask off the areas right next to the gap.

Then I applied permatex around the blowout cover, and used a popsicle stick to press the gasket into all the gaps.

Before the gasket dries, I removed the tape so the gasket could form a crisp line around the cover skin.
