Customer Project: Semi Elliptical Parachute

by Craig Classen

• OVERVIEW
• HOW DO I MAKE IT
• MATERIALS

•     This is the 28" parachute I  constructed using 1.1 oz calendered ripstop nylon.  I chose black and pink for good visibility in most conditions.  Eventually it will be used for hobby rocketry!
• I cut the 10 gores out with a hot knife, then sewed everything together using flat felled seams. Last I sewed the shroud lines on. 

• Required Materials:

  1 yard each of black and pink 1.1 oz calendered ripstop nylon, plus some kevlar line that I had on hand for the shroud lines.
