Parachutes for 54 mm md rockets

[roytyson]

I’m building two 54mm fiberglass rockets. Madcow Adventurer and Wildman Blackhawk 54. I have no idea what parachutes to put into these. My other big rockets have Rocketman and I love the simplicity of 4 tethers. Give me some ideas.

I use Top Flight thin mill chutes for small MD rockets (54mm and below). They're reasonably priced and very small from a volume when packed perspective.

If money is no object go the Fruity Chutes Iris Ultra Compact or Iris Ultra Light lines.

The Top Flight thin mill would be my recommendation. Should be all you need.

I would think a 50”, which should be about $30.

For main I use a 36" Iris Ultra Compact Fruity Chute in my 54mm MD carbon fiber Madcow Tomach with a 12" Classic Elliptical Fruity Chute drogue.
