Default Estes Chute

I thought this might make an interesting thread. Over the years Estes used different printed chute designs. So here is just one of those designs. This 10" chute came with the Wolverine #0816. Lets see what you have in your collection.

Are you sure? That parachute was used by a Cold Power dragster I got as a prize via my paper route long ago.

I may still have it, come to think of it.

The parachute design was originally done for the Land Rockets kits but it came with many Estes rocket as well e.g. Mini-Brute line.

That chute came with my EAC Viper kit. I have two of those chutes, but I can't remember if the second one came with a kit or was thrown in an order as a freebie.

I'll have to check my EAC Viper (still in the box)to see what chute it has.

Default design-less?

I purchased an Estes Ricochet yesterday just to give myself something to do last night, and in the kit there was a noticed stating that due to government regulations, they are unable to produce color and designed chutes...What's up with that? A Design-less chute and no color? What fun is that?

Thank goodness I have spares laying around.
