red estes payload
you know those white 'chutes that are now sold with those estes kits?
well i bought a ricoceht at my local walmart, opened it up, and instead of the bland white, the parachute was bright red!!! does this mean that the colored parachutes are comeing back, or was this just a fluke? anyway, i'll leave it in the package, just in case... |

It could mean that it's full of lead and you have 3 months to live now that you touched it...

The problem is with the printer ink. The red parachutes aren't printed; the plastic itself is red. And they've been out for at least a couple of weeks.

I really don't know when they came out. I just remember hearing about it a couple of weeks ago. They could have came out even earlier than that. I do know that my trip to Hobby Lobby this past weekend yielded all three of the most recent 'chutes. The individually packaged one was red, and the kits were a mix of plain white and the yellow/black checkerboard pattern. |

I'm carefully saving all of my plain-plastic parachutes, complete with baggy and explanatory note.
They'll be collectors' items some day. |
