New parachute under construction.
I'll probably sound like one of those new guys who thinks they're an expert but I'm really happy with the way I came up with to lay it out. The first time, I drew a circle and drew cords the length of the radius. Something was off a little bit and I had to play with the length of the cord to get it to fit evenly. This time I cut an equilateral triangle 15" on a side for a pattern and ran it around a pin in the carpet and marked the corners. From the center of one side to the opposite point is 13". Accounting for a 1/2" hem, This gives a 25" parachute. |

Mostly done. Maybe a few more stickers.

Looks interesting.
What size power ? 24 or 29mm ? What is your intended engine for the initial flight ?

I flew it before painting it. Tried to post a video but it was too large.
24mm. D12-5. Too long of a delay. Looked like it was going to slam into the ground. Just bought some D12-3's. |

Try an E12-4 or an E30-4.
I was afraid you were going to say D12-5 and would have predicted that delay far too long. Many of the Aerotech RMS24 offerings would be better too starting with the D15-4T.
