FlisKits Space Raider Build, Part 9, 9" Parachute


The instructions suggest a streamer, but I went with a small parachute.

I started with an Odd'l Rockets 12"chute.
Reinforcement disks were placed towards the center along the white circle band.


After all six disks were in place,
The sides of the chute were cut with a knife and straightedge just below the new disks.









The new chute - 





With the shroud lines attached. 

An elastic shock cord was tied onto the Kevlar line from the engine block. The 9" chute packed easily into the BT-20 interior tube.
