<div dir="ltr">I'll bring a few chutes and you can see what one or ones you want to borrow. You can always 'reef' the chute by tying a knot between the end of the shroud lines and where they are attached to the parachute. This is a rather inexact science at least without more data it would just be a SWAG.<div><br></div><div>Bob</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 20, 2016 at 1:27 PM, Fareez Chowdhury <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:fareez.chowdhury@gmail.com" target="_blank">fareez.chowdhury@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Mr. Schoner, <div><br></div><div>Thank you so much!

We're getting ready for our competition this Saturday (therefore we cannot make the NRVR launch.) Our rocket is basically done sans some painting to be done Wednesday night. However, after running simulations based on our most updated model, we're worried we're descending too slowly on our 14 foot chute for our capsule, and would also like to save some weight after our rebuild. Our simulations show that an ideally 8 ft chute (or at most a 10 foot chute) would be ideal.<div><br></div><div>It's a bit last minute, but does anyone own an 8 ft to 10 ft chute we could borrow for competition weekend this Saturday? If so, would it be possible to borrow it during the Thursday NRVR meeting?</div><div><br></div><div>Please let me know ASAP.
