New Top Flight Recovery Products/Additions

Hi everyone, we added a few new items to the Top Flight Recovery product line and will be bringing back some old items!

-First, we added a second color choice option for 70" and larger standard Top Flight Recovery parachutes. You can pick any (2) of our 9 colors of fabric to have a split/double colored parachute. These are only available in the standard Top Flight Recovery parachute line.

-After several requests, we added an 18" Ultra X-Type parachute to our Ultra X-Type product line. Great size for a drogue chute!

-New Thin Mill parachute color options added in our 9" thru 30" product line. Lime Green and Red have been added to these sizes only!

-1/2" Tubular Nylon added to our Shock Cord product line.

-We will be brining back Tubular Nylon with sewn loops at the end in various sizes and lengths this summer.

Thanks

Preston

Great job guys. I really like the 2 color chutes. Always liked the red/white combo.

Cool!

What's the drag coefficient of the new 18" product?

.98

Typically, x form parachutes have a Cd range of 0.65-0.85 per the Knacke parachute design manual, which I linked below. Cd in a parachute is variable based on conditions so take the number with a grain of salt.

Awesome job, Top Flight!!!

Have been using "custom" 18" Ultra-X TFR chutes for drogues for years; glad to see they've been added to the product line.

They are indeed my favorite drogue chute!!!

Preston, what is the cost of this new 18” drogue?
