Worked very well...
I made a scratch build rocket for my granddaughter. It was a combo of paper tube and 3d printed fin can and nosecone. It was heavy enough that I felt it needed the 15 chute. That chute worked just right to give the rocket a nice slow descent. Sadly, on the second launch of the rocket with this chute it found its way into a tree and was not recovered. So, I've built another rocket and will use another of these chutes. I'll try to get a picture of the new rocket with the chute deployed next time I launch.
A good parachute for larger low-power rockets, but consider nylon
If you're building a rocket that needs a 15 inch parachute, consider buying an after market one made out of nylon. That being said, this is still a solid option that's much cheaper than a nylon parachute.
El cheapo.
The first time I launched my rocket the parachute ripped, so I fixed and launched it again, but it tore AGAIN😮.
15 Chute
Nice! Well made item. Should work great with some slightly larger, original designs that I'm building.
