Parachute suggestions needed

Was a custom made tub to maximize the factory outer. My fabricater buddy has the pitsburg machine(whatever that is) that can make them.

It's a hemming tool, actually have not used one since 77, great for making ducts etc, and those style tubs, very secure, no welding required.

Thought it would make sense to somebody.

For anyone interested in making a CO2 launcher, I took these photos of the set-up. Since my CO2 cyloinder will be tucked behind the license plate, it would be impossible to remove as a one piece assembly. I used these long scews attached to the CO2 so that I can easily assemble to the chute bracket after installing it on the car.

Thanks, That helps a lot. I've got the bag and cylinder. I just need some free time to make everything else.

Do you need to get the deploy mecanism with this Unit?

Is this true. I just found out that if you run over 150 MPH you are required to have 2 Chutes??

 

[Mike E]

Not true. If you run over 150 you are required to have a chute, they don't specify how many just that you have to have one. If you do the math on most chute manufacturers websites a heavy regal that runs over 150 should need 2, but in reality 1 works fine.

My friend Stephane with his 540 was told to put 2 so he did. He will be going well over 200 mph..maybe 2 will be better for him.

 

[Dusty Bradford]

I'd suggest 2 chutes for over 200.
