The chute has no instructions. It is pre-sewn/made.
I might post a pic but not going to hassle with dimensions, etc. I believe it has red/white alternating panels. Will check it tomorrow.

It was Nylon, and the flyer states they purchased them. Probably from Centuri: => http://vintageestesrockets.com/prom.../index.htm#silk

Kind of like Gleda Estes hand rolling the original parallel wound BT-30 tubes.

Did the Centuri version have 8 shroud lines plus a centre line?

None of the Enerjet fabric chutes I have use a center shroud line. Sounds like those may be military excess flare chutes. Earl

Well, the Estes one has a centre line. This is getting more and more interesting. Sounds like maybe Vern visited a military surplus store at some time, saw the 'chutes, and decided to give them a try. I have one of them around here somewhere. I'll post a photo as soon as I dig it up. Joe |

Here is the Estes silk parachute. You can clearly see the centre line (which is just a length of heavy cord). These are very well made, by the way.
