User questions & answers

Question:	How do they work and attach
Answer:	Parachute attachment requires either the StratoFins or your own glued on fins to a soda bottle. The shroud lines loop around each fin (total of 3), run along the side of the bottle, and are gathered together with a supplied cable tie. For further details check out the PDF instruction sheet:dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/31996993/launcher/Parachute_Instructions.pdfNo additional hardware (no timer needed) is necessary for deploying the parachute. The way the parachute deploys is using gravity and it works most of the time, but not 100% of the time. The big factor is wind. The less wind the more likely it will work. The parachute is loosely folded up under the nose cone, which is not attached to the bottle. The air pressure against it on launch keeps it in place until it reaches apogee. As the bottle turns the nose cone falls off and the parachute deploys. What happens when it is windy is that the wind pushes against the nose cone as the bottle is turning at apogee. If the nose cone does not fall off, then the rocket nose dives into the ground. The beauty of the fins is that without a parachute the bottle just gracefully tumbles to the ground once the nose cone falls off. You never want to attach the nose cone to the bottle as this will just make it nose dive like an arrow. Also, what helps a lot is making sure that the rocket is heavier toward the fin side than the nose cone. Some people add additional weight (washers) which is fine, but don't add them past the center of gravity as it forces it to nose dive to quickly at apogee not giving enough time for the cone to fall off and the parachute to deploy. Weights are not required, but are optional or used to balance the bottle.

Question:	Doing an egg drop from 4 stories for school, I am planning on construction a Soyuz to hold the egg, do you think this parachute would do its job
Answer:	Shouldn't be a problem for the egg. The 24" chute is rather large and will handle a fair amount of weight for a soft landing, but there are limits it all depends on the weight of your rocket. I have launched a 2 liter soda bottle with StratoFins attached, 2 keychain type video cameras and some weights to balance it out and the 24" StratoChute brought it all down gently. Not sure what the exact total weight was, but somewhere around 6 oz. I think. A typical size Large egg weighs about 2 oz., which is about 0.5 oz. more than the larger keychain camera I used. If you need to cut some weight you could use a Medium or Small size egg and shave off 0.25 - 0.50 of an oz. Keeping your rocket build as light as possible will be the trick.
Question:	Where do you get those black fins in the instruction video
Answer:	If I am understanding your question correctly, the black fins in the video are balsawood fins painted black. We used to sell these 8 years ago before we release our screw-on red plastic StratoFins. You can make your own fins from a variety of materials like balsawood, coroplast (corrugated plastic), gift cards, cardboard, etc. The challenge is attaching them to a plastic soda bottle. Certain glues work, but it is messy and they are not removeable or transferable to another bottle once that one wears out so there is a down side.
Question:	Is there a max weight for the payload to hit the ground safely? I'm looking at a dead drop of about 2.5-5 lbs
Answer:	There probably is a max weight, but I will have to test that out and get back with you. Construction and durability of the parachute would not be a problem to handle 5 lbs. or more; however, it is the amount of air that can be contained within the parachute (drag) to lower the object at a reduced speed for landing safely which is in question. Off the cuff this size parachute is designed to handle ounces and probably not pounds. The calculator here: rocketreviews.com/index.php indicates that 5 oz. would require a 25 inch chute to slow to 10 feet per second (fps), which is probably what you need. I think 15 fps would be the speed an object falls without any parachute drag. Until I can test this out, I don't have a definitive answer. If you wanted to test this out for yourself you could easily take a plastic trash bag, cut a 24 inch circle from it and tape on 3 shroud lines at 6 spaced points from any string or heavy thread, and test different weights with it to see how much impact there is upon landing. The surface area of the chute to weight of the object ratio is what you are looking for. I will try to get back with you when I have time to perform some tests, but I am thinking this chute might be limited to about 6 oz. If you check out the link below you will see how complicated this can get from a math standpoint: van.physics.illinois.edu/qa/listing.php?id=2095

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this toy quality construction? I bought another brand, and the super cheap ribbon is attached by a couple of flimsy stitches
Answer:	This toy parachute is well constructed and is a great design since it does not tangle. I purchased it for my grandson who lives in another state so I can't get my hands on it to check the ribbon and stitching quality but I would purchase again.
Question:	How high does it need to be for it to function properly. Would it open if dropped from 10-12 feet
Answer:	10 or 12 feet wont do it. I had to throw mine as high as I could, about 30 feet maybe and it would fall about 15 feet until the parachute would open and then it would be o.k for the remainder of the 15 feet drop. The chute was not very big so the little man fell pretty fast. Many years ago when I was a kid, we had the old WW2 silk chutes that you could buy at the army navy store for about 50 cents or a dollar. In real chutes they came out first to pull out the big real chute and they were great. They would open instantly when you threw them up and you could get the full ride down with the chute open. This chute was a real disappointment. I thought it would be like those old WW2 chutes that we used to have so much fun with.However if you stood at the top of a stair case and did not wrap the little man up to throw it high but instead just dropped the shoot already opened and threw it down the stairs it would open. I really would not recommend this chute to anyone. If you want a lot of bang for the buck I also purchased the stomp rocket at the same time for about $10.00 and that was an incredible hit with the kids and adults. A shot of air from the air bag that you stomp on sends a Styrofoam rocket extremely high into the air. This toy is amazing if you want something to go up into the air and come down.
Question:	what is the weight of man hanging ? If I remove the guy and hang small camera (what is the max weight of camera should be for smooth landing
Answer:	Yikes. A few grams, maybe? The plastic parachute man is extremely lightweight. I wouldn't risk it. Even the lightest GoPro weighs a couple ounces. If you're feeling ambitious, you could purchase one to rip it apart and use it as a template to make a larger one!
Question:	Does it come with the parachute man
Answer:	Yes, it comes with a parachute man, and the parachute. It is fun to throw down from the second floor, or if you are outside, you wrap the parachute in your fist and throw upwards as high as you can, the parachute will open briefly and the man glides down. Hope this was helpful.
Question:	Does it need to be dropped from a specific height
Answer:	They do include a height. I do not remember off hand. I am sure you can do it from wherever possible.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would this be appropriate for a 10 year old or no? Thank you
Answer:	Sure it would. After tossing a few times a 10 year old would think of different ways of using it. Dropping from a kite. Throwing it off a ladder or out a 2 story window. A 10 year old can get creative more than the toss and grab littler kids. An adult with an RC airplane you could drop them from way up.
Question:	how big is the man and parachute
Answer:	3-5" tall
Question:	can you use them more than 1st
Answer:	Didnt get the question. If you mean if it can be used more than once. Then yes. Its a nice toy for kids and quality is good
Question:	Can this Parachute Toy used indoors
Answer:	Yes it is great fun indoors if you have enough height for dropping. An open 2nd floor or mezzanine works fine. Some people who don't have that height toss them in the air, but sometimes the chutes don't open before landing when tossed.
