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!
Make your choices and take personal responsibility for the outcome of your experiment!
Protect your privelege to fly rockets by not making the headlines or becoming a statistic.
