Please note that the model rocket kits for sale in our store already come with parachutes, if they need one. The chutes offered for sale here can be used to replace a lost or damaged parachute, or to upgrade your existing recovery gear.

In addition to these nylon and thin mill parachutes, a selection of Mylar and plastic chutes is also offered for sale.

The nylon and thin mill recovery devices on this web page are ready for use, no assembly required.

Thin Mill Parachutes

The thin mill chutes offered for sale here are international orange. This makes them easy to see, both in the air or on the ground. These are made from 1.1 oz ripstop nylon, which makes then lighter than standard nylon. They are quite packable and take up less space.

X-Type Parachutes

Shaped like a large plus sign, these chutes are designed to reduce horizontal drift. They will help your rockets land closer to the launch pad. I prefer to pick the X-types a size larger than standard models.

These recovery devices are red in color, making them easy to see and find. Making recovery easier is always a good thing.
