My 29mm Maxi Alpha and LOC Viper each weigh around 20oz. They return fine on an 18" nylon chute.
I once tried a 24" on the Alpha, but it drifted about 800 ft. off course and I had to climb a tree to retrieve it.

One 36" chute shows a 15 fps descent rate in the EMRR calculator.
Two would take it to Maui.


I wish it would take ME to f***ing Mau!. It's freezing here in N. Illinois!

I'm a lazy slob.

Also, I got the parts from Boyce just today. I'll have it finished tomorrow (it's always a day away.)
