I got a 36” X chute from buyrocketmotors.com, figured might as well get it with the motors for my Interceptor E
On their site, didn’t say anything about swivels.
@neil_w showed me the thin mil version on another site, when I went there and looked up my size I got this

Which included this quote
manufacturer recommends the use of a Swivel with the X-Form Parachutes. Use SW-600 up to SW-1500 for the 36" size.
This seems a big step up from the fishing swivels I get from Wallyworld and use for my low power bird.
Do I need something that supports 600 to 1000 lbs?
