I need to select a drogue to use with my 35 lb Formula 150. According to OpenRocket a 24" drogue will give me a descent rate of about 105 fps which I think is good. The only chutes I have that are that small are normal lightweight chutes like the kind that come with MPR kits. I have used a 18" MPR chute as a drogue on my 17 lb Frenzy and it worked fine but not sure if a chute like that will be strong enough for the 35 lb rocket. Is it okay to use a MPR chute as a drogue on a big rocket? Or do I need to buy yet another Fruity Chute?
