LOC/PRECISION Parachutes

Amazing quality

Basic flat parachute that is not to expensive If you are looking for a high quality chairs chute this is not for you

I selected this 21" parachute for a 2.25" diameter, 38" tall, scratch built Cherokee-G that ended up weighing about 1.13 lbs. The parachute's color was orange for this 21" size. I was hoping it would be red to match my Cherokee, but the orange still made it highly visible in the air so I won't deduct a star for my color bias. I bought it more for functionality: This 21# chute has about a 2" spill hole. With calm winds, I launched my Cherokee-G to 1,677 feet in the air, and it landed within a couple hundred feet of me without having to use a chute release. I thought that was pretty impressive from that height. The descent rate seemed perfect, and I had no damage to the fins that I had cut out of basswood or any other part of the rocket. This chute worked better than an 18" Ripstop parachute (no spillhole) that I used on it's first flight. I'm a big fan of spillholes now. The lines for the parachute are well constructed and look very durable too. I'm very happy with this purchase.
