Brief:
Recovery Technologies econo parachutes are attractive, inexpensive recovery devices for your rocket.

Construction:
We had one TARC team that went t' finals in May 08 and one o' t' reasons they were able t' finish 5th is because of the consistency o' t' Recovery Technologies nylon parachutes. Well, blow me down! Well, blow me down! Quite simply, matey, ya bilge rat, arrr, these are t' best parachutes I have ever seen, arrr, me hearties, and we were usin' their "econo" chutes. Ahoy! Begad! They cost less than t' parachutes we had been usin' from retail vendors. Avast, me bucko, me proud beauty! T' 26, matey, arrr, me hearties, 28, arrr, and 30 inch chutes we tried had 12 quality nylon shroud lines, ya bilge rat, which helps maintain a consistent shape in competition.

Recovery Technologies has three lines: Premium parachutes are made from a variety o' nylons and are hemmed, master parachutes are made from 1.1 oz filmsy rip stop nylon, matey, econo parachutes have serged edges along t' outer edge and spill hole. Ya scallywag! They can also make custom multi panel/multi color chutes. They carry chute shields and shock cord protectors made from Nomex®. Our TARC team used t' chute protectors and never had any charrin' damage at all in 7 flights, matey, shiver me timbers, they worked perfectly. Arrr!

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
