This would result in a stable decent with minimal spinning / twisting. So... attach each chute to it's own canard? Thoughts

Canaroot... sounds Aussie Indeed. Lets assume through wall attachment to an inner tube,.... or... instead of a canard.. use an exterior eyelet. Last edited: Dec 30, 2018

Basically it's quan. (6) 1/8" plywood centering rings that are notched to trap a 1/4" nylon lock nut, then the rings are glued together. Should be hell-for stout.
