Chutes

Anyone know of another source for chutes other than Details 4 Scale? Not looking for the whole system, just the chutes.

RE: Chutes

Thanks guys, yes I know Details 4 Scale can supply just the chute and maybe its just me, but I think it is a little ridiculous to pay $175 for ONE chute!!

RE: Chutes

I think I am going to go with the Airpac ones, I can get the 2 I need for less than the price of one D4S. Yes they are nice but for a semi scale jet that is just way too over priced. I know some people out there have unlimited budgets for their toys but not this guy. I am going to make everything else for the chute system, the chute was the only thing I didn't want to tackle myself.

by the way its nice to use a thin fishing line just for safety if you deploy it during flight to break away and dont stall the jet?..ora release servo
