How cool!

These are cool. Do you have any video of a rocket descending on one? I would consider stocking up on these if you offered 15", which is what I use in the majority of my rockets.

Also, a small website note: At the very bottom of the page I select the size. Then I have to scroll all the way to the top to see what the price is. It would be good if the price were shown in the same general area as the size selection/add to cart button.

You always seem to come up with something cool.

Nice - order placed. I can’t wait to try one.

Interesting. What material is used for the chutes?

Thank you for the website suggestion, I will try to figure out a way to list the price near the option drop down.

I will have to look and see if I have any videos. Because of the insignificant change in performance and bulk, we decided not to include 15" rotofoils, but if there is enough interest we will offer them.

Thanks to Ulexis, here is a video.

I'm with @neil_w — I was looking for 15 inch as well in order to give one of these a try. These do look interesting.

Ditto on the 15". Often a 12" falls too fast, and an 18" drifts too far away on a windy day. 15" seems to be a sweet spot.

I use 15" instead of 12 for the reason above ^^^

We have begun to modify the website to include pricing with the options. I hope this makes it easier.

We have also received overwhelming feedback on the 15" rotofoils, so we have spent the morning working on some and they are listed right now https://www.valkyrierecoverysystems.com/store/p31/Explorer_Rotofoil.html

Thank you everyone for the support of these rotofoils, we sold 46 this weekend! We always appreciate any feedback anyone has about our products as well, so reach out with any questions or concerns or just to say our products are great! We are also operating primarily off of word of mouth, so any public reviews help us out immensely.

Thank you,

Awesome on both counts. I will be grabbing several.

These recovery systems intrigue me. I plan buying some nylon parachutes in the future and have primarily looked at Top Flight Recovery's products. But I will be on the lookout for reviews on this rotofoil and may reconsider what I buy.

 

[Lotronex]

Any chance these will be offered in other colors (red?) as well? That yellow looks like it will blend in perfectly in the soybean fields we launch in.

We have had a few requests for other colors for similar reasons. We are looking at getting material for a second color but may take a little while before we have that available.

Just got mine. These are the real deal.

Just order some, you'll be impressed.
