Add a parachute to a quadrotor

Posted by nizar zd on October 31, 2013 at 12:05am

Hello everyone,

I need to add a small parachute to my quadrotor that can be opened in case of failure of the quadrotor at high altitudes. Does anyone know anything about companies that sell a parachute like this?

Regards.

    It looks like small parachutes are cheap, but the deployment mechanisms can be spendy. Overall the cost is much less than a fully equipped copter.

    The M.A.R.S. Mini looks nice.

    Here's the ones that I know of:

    Opale paramodels

    Aerocon

    somebody was talking about this one from amazon

    fruitychutes

    Minimars which is what the other Randy is referring to

    ..and there's a discussion ongoing on diydrones somewhere about someone is building a deployment mechanism.  I can't find it..his name starts with "H"..Henry perhaps..

    best of luck, tell us how it goes!

    There is a company called MARS I think that sells them.
