Hello all. I know that there have been threads on making your own parachutes in the past, and I've read a few of these. However, does anyone have a good tutorial for the first-time 'chute builder? I ask because I have a few square yards of ripstop nylon fabric (1.5 oz I think) and a big roll of 90-pound test kite string (sorry, I don't know what kind) that I would like to use up. I'm only interested in mid power parachutes, and I'm fine just building a "gathered parasheet" like what the small rockets use. Any advice or proceedures?
