I think every beginner, myself included, at leas THINKS of this question.

The truth is, as stated above, that if you had the time to deploy such a thing, you would have time to save your plane. Crashes happen due to disorientation and inexperience at the sticks for beginners. Crashes happen due to mechanical failures and a host of other reasons for more experienced flyers as well.

The best thing to do in any case is to learn to avoid the things that cause crashes as much as possible. A parachute system, no matter what design, has no hope of being practical in an RC trainer....ever.

Skill and experience are not so easily substituted, unfortunately. There is no short-cut to the learning curve, and the harder you try to make a plane 'crash-resistant', the less you will be actually learning to fly the thing.

I wish there were a shortcut to learning rolling harriers, but there just isn't.......DANG IT!!!


Best of luck to you man, just fly the thing as much as possible and this question will leave your mind all-together.
