After sadly finding that there is a bug on 2.9.1b which is hard to find unless you check your tlog after a flight, hopefully before you crash:

Sorry if this is old news, have been following the blog for a long time and this is the first time a see a finished solution for saving your investment.

This was discussed on another thread somewhere a week or so ago. I bought one a couple of weeks ago and it look ok but it's not really a "finished solution". It doesn't come with everything you need to deploy it. I've attached a picture at the bottom which shows a possible way to spring it off the top of the copter. It's only a concept at this point though.
I'd like to add support for deploying a parachute automatically and cutting the engines at some point after 3.0 goes out and settles down.
Do you know if this would work with a plane instead of a multiroder?
It's just a parachute with a pod. The release mecenism is just a servo. I myself buy rocketman parachutes.
