I just tried my first Rocket Rage chute this weekend. They are top shelf! I contacted the owner Carl Delzel who was very helpful telling him what i needed. For starters, i got his RRQS15, which is the smallest in his quantum chute line. It is rated to carry up to 15 pounds at 22 fps. He gave me a choice of like 6 different color schemes which he had on hand, of which i chose one that had alternating red, blue, and black quadrants. I purchased it with the intention of using it for my Sumo clone which is described in another thread. I flew it on a J570W for a ripping flight to ~5,500'. The chute came out and brought it back very softly, with no swaying or "jellyfishing" or anything like that. The design of these quantumn chutes is superb. It packs into a very small space and yet is very strong, both of which were selling points to me, as this was exactly what i was looking for for this project. After the great flight on the J570, i immediately went and bought a K1275R for it. look at the pic below for a perspective of my insanity the motor basically takes up the entire body tube. the recovery harness fits in the space between the airframe and motor. the chute packs into the 16" nosecone, of which 6" is taken by noseweight and, the shoulder isn't counted either (it's filled with motor). So, the whole chute packs into the lower 10 inches of nose.
Furthermore, i ordered the parachute for my 2X Sumo from Carl. I went with a biggun too. An RRQS150, which is rated for up to 150 pounds that will have alternating red/gold panels like the paint scheme on my Sumo. This very large chute will still pack into the space taken by an R14, rated for only 35 pounds. My dad also plans on getting one of his RRQS50s for his L3 Magnum.
So, just letting you all know that If you go with a Rocket Rage chute, you won't be disapponted. chech 'em out here: www.rocketrage.com
