2 Installation

To install the Kimbi Bucket modkit, perform the following steps:

• Rez a fresh CH-47 (v1.1 or later) without the modkit. Ensure power is off and that there are no occupants.
• Rez the "SA - CH-37 Kimbi Bucket Kit" object within 10m of the aircraft.
• Copy the *sa-ch47-bucket-installer script from the crate to your inventory, then drag it on to your ch-47
• Grant link privileges to the modkit.
• Wait for installation to complete.

NOTE: Once you drop the installer script on the aircraft, the aircraft will be in a non-functional state until the modkit installation is complete.
