Default R/C Powered Parachute

Hello everyone,
Does anyone know where there is any information on building an electric or gas powered R/C powerchute?
For example, I want to build an R/C one of these...
http://condorppc.com/

I can build the body by myself, but I am having trouble finding a place to buy a chute that will work.
I have thought about using a stunt kite chute. Something like this,

http://www.coastalkites.com/stunt_foils.htm

But I don't know if the chute's airfoil will work in the same way a powered chute would need it to work.

Please help me out with anything you can suggest. Thank you very much,
-Andy

Hi,
I haven't tried to build one yet. But I may this summer. We'll see how much time I have. :-)

Try searching or looking under parasails. That's what I've heard them called here-abouts.
