Anchoring Parachutes To Canards

[lakeroadster]

I'd like to have (3) chutes deploy and have their chords attached separately and as far apart as possible on my latest scratch build rocket.

This would result in a stable decent with minimal spinning / twisting.

So... attach each chute to it's own canard?

That would be a LOT of leverage on your canaroots.

Canaroot... sounds Aussie

Indeed. Lets assume through wall attachment to an inner tube,.... or... instead of a canard.. use an exterior eyelet.

Here's what I came up with to attach the external parachute chord mounts. See detail B below.

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.
