I am looking for a highly reflective streamer to lieu of a drogue for a rocket that will net out around 8lbs once the propellant is exhausted. Ideally I would like something that is silver or gold, something that really catches the sunlight as I have a hard time tracking my launches and this one is simmed to hit 20K. Yes I have trackers but I like to try to follow it on it's decent visually and I find that if I see something reflecting I can spot it much easier than just another object in the sky.
I am not sure about sizing, the drogue I would normally use would be either a 12" or 15" which puts me around 90-95fps on the drogue decent. Packing is also a consideration as this is a 54mm MD with limited payload.
Recommendations?
