Raul_Perez Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Gregg, I was a little surprised to see that my "how to" tip for building drag chutes showed up in the latest issue of MCM!! Had I known that you wanted to move forward with the draft pics and instructions I sent you, I would have sent better pics and instructions! Oh well, thanks for publishing it!! For anyone who's interested, here is the template with all of the dimensions for a chute that builds out to ~ 1/2" wide by 1/2" high by 1/4" thick: I like using the Tamiya masking tape best for transferring the template to and building the chute. If anybody wants the scalable template in a PowerPoint format, please feel free to send me a PM with your email address and I'll send it to you. Next time I'll make sure to send you good pics and instructions in the first message! Regards,
