Default F4 drag chute

Hi,
I've got a Skymaster 1/7th F4 and am looking for a source for the drag chute.
Since details4scale is gone they were the only ones that made drag chutes for the F4 (as far as I know).
I can cobble up the release system but obviously need the chute.
Thanks for any help.
Jon

I've seen posts on RC Groups and Hobby Squawk about modding the Freewing F-4 and I've seen a George Miller Phantom with chutes so there's guys out there doing it.

Paul Helmsman is your guy! He made me a chute for the same F-4 and it's very accurate, nicely scale. Check Facebook for Helmsman Rc Jet Drag Chutes. Nice quality work.

Great news that there is another chute supplier!

For any Jeti pilots that are interested, I have a lua program that does pretty much what the D4S "AutoChute" hardware did .. let me know by PM if interested. Happy to share it. It was created because we had no source for the D4S hardware device anymore... but ....

If D4S comes back, I'd suggest we support them if they are still going to produce the hardware device!
