Source for Drag Chutes
 
Guys,

Does anyone know of a source for drag chutes? I've gotten them from Details4scale in the past, but I'm wondering if there is another source out there?

Thanks,
Bob

Any reason for that if I may ask? Just awaiting my first one from D4S.

Bob, I wonder if the model rocketry community would have some good leads? I got mine from D4S too.

The D4S drag chutes are understandably expensive. They are hand made and I suspect it takes a few hours to make a nice scale slotted chute. I did some searching around and did go through the model rocket type stuff (e.g. estes) but none of it would look that good be towed behind a jet. I'd like to add it to one of my jets if someone finds something suitable.

The Rocketman parachutes. He sells different kinds of them.

Bob,
I would think the rocket guys would have something that could be used as mentioned. I have no experience with these, but here are a couple.
