Thanks to smutboy420 for revamping my design. Check out his version for a cleaner and more modern look. He utilized PLA plastic instead of ABS, and incorporated a larger servo while also redesigning the system to accommodate its increased size. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1307204 This is a comprehensive blueprint for creating an advanced Multirotor parachute system.

Http://www.flitetest.com/articles/parachutes-are-cool-diy-multirotor-parachute Instructions Parachute: spherachutes.com - I employed a 36in parachute during testing. Additionally, I constructed one utilizing a 42in parachute (entire tube used for the 42in chute) Tube: Pounce Cat Treat container (modified to fit the 36in chute) Spring: Homemade, with instructions available through this link. 1 1/4in PVC Pipe was utilized - see link http://www.instructables.com/id/Make-your-own-springs-in-seconds/ Servo: 3.7g Turnigy servo (TGY-1370A) Activation: I have configured my controller with two switches to activate the parachute deployment system, both of which need to be engaged simultaneously, ensuring a safe and accidental prevention deployment process
