FR3 chutes are characterized by a high level of fit and finish with 100% flat felled seams and rolled hems to present a smooth, clean canopy and provide extra strength. I use 200 lb braided Spectra for the suspension lines. I offer designs and patterns with higher gore counts and more in-gore piecing than many other vendors. This, coupled with the seam finishing, drives my labor costs. I know I'm more expensive than other vendors for chutes of similar diameters. I think you'll appreciate the quality and uniqueness of my offerings as worth the extra expense. If I don't have a pattern template made, feel free to ask about additional design work. I am NAR Level 2 certified, an Air Force veteran, and a one-person shop. I started FR3 as a way to support my own rocketry pursuits after receiving positive feedback on chutes I'd sewn for several of my rockets.
