Anyone have any experience with these?

Thanks

Nope, but I've seen them, and they're well made, like much of what Giant Leap sells.

That said, in a properly designed rocket, they really shouldn't be necessary.

No, but their small Fireball should arrive here any day now!

I wouldn't count on it for either -- as a piston, parachute material can creap down beside it, causing it to wedge, and gas can push past it.

That's what it's best suited for, I think.

Wrap your parachute in a Nomex blanket, like it was cannon wadding. your parachute tube is the cannon you know ;-)

that will push it all out.

use a blanket rated for the next larger size chute then you are using for a good seal.

Sufficient length recovery system that it won't cause it to snatch back when you hit the end of it. Properly sized ejection charges that don't blow it apart at Mach 23. Properly selected motors and delays.

Oh, I can. You just don't like it. 8-}
