My local Wal-mart has lots of thin and some thicker nylon for $1.97 (Canadian) per metre (about $1US/yard). I picked some up, not knowing what ripstop nylon looked like.
Fabricland has ripstop in about a dozen colours for $10/m! What I got is definitely not ripstop--no little squares.
If I'm using it to make parachutes for my after-school rocket club where we use A-D size engines and are just getting into 2-engine clusters, will it make much difference? I know the ripstop is stronger, but does it need to be for our purposes?
Thanks for any advice.
