This is just a brief review to add to Dick's review.

Parachutes

Received some RocketChutes.com Parachutes and even though they may be like (or at least similar) other rip-stop nylon 'chutes, these caught my attention:

Here's what they say:

  • High quality model rocket parachutes
  • A wide selection of ripstop nylon colors
  • Braided nylon shroud lines
  • Reinforced stitched edging
  • Embroidery services to aid in recovery
  • Discounted prices and fast delivery
  • Sizes from 12"-48" for low and mid power rocketry

Here's what I say:

  • Same (the stitching is top notch) and CHECK OUT THE TIE-DYE !!!!! Too, cool!

I have one that has embroidered "rocketreviews.com" as well. I didn't think of this as a big deal, but their website highlights how having your name and phone number embroidered might get your rocket (or at least your 'chute) back. That's a good thing, right?

I love the looks of my rocketchutes.com Tie Dye parachutes. They have other nylon parachutes as well, but the Tie Dye caught my eye!

I have flown several of the 'chutes. Below is the 24" Tie Dye parachute that was used in my Madcow Scooter™.

On Ground

I give these parachutes an OVERALL rating of 5 points. I would recommend them to others.

    I bought 12" and 18" rip-stop nylon parachutes in both the new 'Toucan/American Eagle' tie-dye and camo patterns. I received them just in time for NARAM-50. Far out, man! You can get them in many solid colors also and can even have them embroidered. Other sizes include 24, 30, 36, 42 and 48 inches. These are well built little chutes. They have 6 braided nylon shroud lines (actually three ...

I totally agree with this review. I have to say their service is second to NONE. I placed an order on as Saturday at aprox. 2:00 pm EST, the order receipt said to expect the order in 3 to 5 business days. I received my order the next Monday, in one business day. I WILL be ordering from Rocketcuts.com again. The chutes look great I can not wait to try them.
