I had planned to use a Rocket Rage RRSQ130 parachute for my spring Level 3 attempt. Since they are no longer available can anyone recommend a light weight parachute manufacturer for a 85lbs rocket? Or possibly have a RRSQ130 for sale?

Thanks
 
I used to use Rocket Rage, and loved them for their small packing size. I have since purchased 3 chutes from Spherachutes.

They pack very small, just like the Rocket Rage chutes, and are a hemispherical design so they also have a very good Cd. Check out the packing dimensions.

I just purchased a 168" Spherachute for my L3. It is measured "over the top", or 1/2 the circumference. This would translate to about 107" diameter.

They also make a 192" model, which is about 122" in Diameter. It is rated for rockets weighting 54-96 lbs. Here is my 168" chute:
