Does anyone know where to find patterns for making hemishperical parachutes that only have 4 or 5 pieces of fabric? I have made one from Nakkas web site that had 12 gores. It was not to bad to make but it seems the other way would be better. Less seams seems to me would mean less things to fail. If anyone is trying to make your own chutes you might want to try a rotary cutter. I was cutting 4 layers of 1.75 oz ripstop nylon at a time. I was able to cut all the gores in about 5 minutes....just a thought. Thanks for any information anyone has......
