OK, I guess I will share this with all of you. Have you ever gotten tired of your parachute shroud lines getting all tangled up? Me too! And since I make all my own shopping bag parachutes it really gets frustrating. In fact I couldn't hardly get one flight before the lines got tangled
Here is what I have come up with and it seems to work very nicely. Make a bridle(at least that is what I am calling it).
It is basicily a length of kevlar thread with snap swivels on the ends(see enclosed picture). One end connects to the nose cone and the other to the parachute. The shock cord connects to the nose cone as well. On the parachute use a barrel swivel. After 7 flights with two different rockets not a single tangle.
