Nice work there... Could you please explain how have you routed your parachute strings from the anchoring point? I get the idea from the picture... could you please post some actual pics?
Hobby rockets use ballistic chutes also ultra lites do. It would be easy to put something like this on any airframe. It may need to be a little bigger depending on weight of aircraft.
that's just awesome... does it get open up by running airflow or did you use some kind of rocket? doesn't look like it, but i ask anyways. I would love to have one for my quad..

Hi Jim,

Hey Luca,
The above link is not working. Could you please check.
Adding a parachute recovery system to an existing airframe is not a simple task, there are many variables to deal on but can be done,

Looks great.it would be perfect as a fail safe.Looking to find out more.
Absolutely amazing!
I agree with estebanflyer, how did you get it to shoot open?
