What's an F-100 without a drag chute?!? Dan Gill has a pre-moulded chute box with carbon fiber doors and all accessories. Normally, this chute box is permanently glued in after the stab is installed. However, this model is going to be shipped several times, most likely, so the chute box had to be engineeried to be removable. Here you can see front and back views of the chute box, with its actuating servo installed. There are 4 screws that screw into blocks from inside the chute box to hold it in place.

You can also see the retractable tail skid (also from Dan Gill) installed in the tail. This skid is activated by an air cylinder from the retracts - gear down, skid down, gear up, skid up...
