OK I need some advice on what kind of chute to use with my G-FORCE I just finished building. It comes in at 43.5 ozs. One of my friends suggested using a 60" flare chute that I can get from Aerocon Systems.

with the deployment bag it shows it coming in at 14oz. I suppose I could neatly pack it with a bag and it would work fine. I did have two of these chutes, but felt it was too much additional weight for the rocket, but I suppose with a high power motor it would be fine?
What are your thoughts and suggestions. The 60" is tempting since I can't find any 42" flare chutes for a reasonable price.
