I bought a rocket along with a parachute a few years back from somebody who gave up the hobby and I'm currently sorting through all my recovery hardware, making sure I have enough stainless steel swivels, quicklinks and such, but I don't really know anything about this parachute except that it's blue and white, has a non-regular octagonal shape and a "diameter" (measured across the white part) of 43 inches.
Is anybody familiar with this design ("pillow" parachute?) and knows the drag coefficient so that I can calculate suitable rocket weights, or knows those weights directly for that size?
Thanks!
Oliver
