Cato chutes comparison to standard chutes

[CPEstes1103]

Hey, it has been a while. I am curious about comparing the sizes of cato chutes (hemispherical parachutes for model rockets) to standard chutes (i.e. top flight rocket parachutes). What size of Cato chutes hemispherical parachute can compare to a top flight 12 inch nylon parachutes?

Assuming you mean TFR PAR12, probably the 10in CATO. At this size, does it matter?

Thanks... I was thinking about the putting nylon parachutes for all the rockets in my fleet.

Yes i was thinking about that for my video camera rocket.
