Hey y'all,
I'm working on my first scratch-built cert 1 rocket, and I'm ready to make the parachute. I plan to go to <a href="https://www.seattlefabrics.com/nylons.html" TARGET="resource window">Seattle Fabrics</a> for some rip-stop.
I would like to use Kevlar for the shroudlines, but am unsure how heavy the thread should be. I've been looking at <a href="https://www.thethreadexchange.com/" TARGET="resource window">The Thread Exchange</a> and was overwhelmed by the selection, so I'm not sure which size to buy.
BTW - The bird is about 3 lbs, 5 feet tall with 29mm MMT and G10 fins.
