RE: Dragshute..
I can do the dragchute thing for you if you are interested. They took much more time to come to a fully operational chute than I had expected. I believe those that are using them have been quite happy with the results.
I currently have a 16, 20, and 24 panel chute available which end up at around a 14.8", 15.7" and 17" canopy.
I have begun the process of the split ring chute and hope to bring it to life shortly. I will assure you it won't be cheap but will definitely bring the cool factor and realism factor up ten fold over the standard chute.
Let me know if I can help.
