Try a 9" chute or a 12" with a 2" spill hole.

They had a live in-house auction to sell off a few items. The winning prices on some of the older kits made my head hurt (over $300 each). My winning bid for an original Goblin was $55. They still had a ton of stuff, probably more than twice what is pictured on their web site. They said they were going to auction off a number of the items on ROL and E-bay. As for my original question, I've decided to try an old Estes 8" parachute I've had laying around for years.
