Construction Techniques

All canopies are made from 100% nylon rip-stop fabric.

Only bright colors and contrasting colors are used.

All cordage is 100% nylon or spectra.

Support tape is used on the Quantum to create a network of strength around the canopy.

To make your canopy perfectly stable, each line is weighted with 15 lbs of weight and then cut.  This assures the canopy is perfectly balanced so there is no need for swivels or other compensating devices.  This may seem like a lot of trouble to go to, but it has much to do with stability, and overall CD/performance.  Setting new standards in rocketry...Rocket Rage.
