Old estes parachutes

Jan 01, 2005 2 Replies

Can anyone provide me with a scan of an old style estes parachute from the



1960's? I would like to make a few up. I think they look much better than the type estes has been using since the mid- 1970's.

That sounds interesting. How are you going to go about it? This subject has been discussed in the past on Yahoo OldRockets and I believe there are still a few scans in the photo archives. Have you seen the new chutes that Estes has produced for the X Prize kits?

I I had drawn up some of the old chutes in Adobe Illustrator and posted those to the files section of Oldrockets. I think you're right that they are still there. I send Kerry the files I made back then and he's got them now.
