Very compact! Nominally for a 4 pound vehicle. 5 ea. 32 inch shroud lines, 1/16 inch nylon with a reefing line.
Weight is 28 grams with the bag.
Though this parachute may be only a 36 incher it has a drag similar to a 44" chute! According to Knacke, a parachute reefed as this one is can mimic the drag of a much larger chute. If you can get hold of his book Parachute Recovery Systems Design Manual by T. W. Knacke, you are in for some very interesting reading!
Only $6.00 includes deployment bag!
Make your choices and take personal responsibility for the outcome of your experiment!
