You helped me so much! I've been testing parachute deployment methods for a while, turns out the way you fold the parachute REALLY makes a difference

Thanks for the "fast fold" method. Was launching in cold weather today with some fails and I think it will help...chute plastic gets very stiff.

Great vid, helped me a lot! You deserve more subscribers bro!

[Minutemman]

This video was super helpful to me! Also you should do a video on how to launch a model rocket. Keep up the great work!

[leezaard]

this actually helped me a lot as i've been working on custom model rockets with my 3d printer and cardboard tubes, but the parachutes have always been a problem coming out because the material I used creases very easily, but I will try the fast method you showed instead (:

Can you make a video on how to wrap a streamer, and where to put it on the shock cord?

When the rocket is launching, will this parachute auto deploys or do we need to do any other thing to deploy the parachute.??.

Can I learn the fabric of the parachute?

[longbowshooter]

Back when I was flying rockets I would cut a round hole in the center of the parachute just like real parachutes have. This would stop the parachute from swinging like a pendulum, and also allow for a straighter descent since it's not swinging all over the place.

Wow thanks 😊 for this 🙌 video. your voice is also superb (it inspires me to try to make new rocket)

I wrapped the parachute too much on a slow fold and the parachute didn’t even deploy lol
Luckily I was only using an A8-3 engine and the rocket wasn’t that high up. I think I’ll launch it again for 4th of July

hi i have a question which one ejects better for a b44 slow or fast mostly I use slow

[kiwicory]

I had to watch this video like 20x to figure out what he was saying regarding slow vs fast fold.

[sininancy]

BUT HOW WILL THE CONE EJECT AND LET THE PARACHUTE OUT

[vijithasanoj]

Hey can you please tell me how to make a home made rocket engine ?

Loved the part where it showed how to make it
