🚀 Struggling with model rocket parachute failures? In this video, I’ll show you how to attach, fold, and modify your model rocket parachutes for smooth, tangle-free, and safe recovery! Whether you're new to model rocketry or have had issues with recovery failure in the past, this beginner-friendly guide will walk you through the process of correctly folding your parachute to ensure it opens fully and doesn’t get stuck or tangled.
You'll also learn how to attach your parachute securely to the rocket and cut spill holes to reduce drift during descent. Proper parachute setup is crucial for safe rocket landings and ensuring your rocket is ready for more launches with minimal hassle.
