Saw the ad in the AMA flyer for their Expo in Pomona. SSA Region 12 has a presence there. AMA Expo: https://amablog.modelaircraft.org/am...m-2018-web.pdf Fruity Chutes looks like a good source for chutes, including ballistic chutes. Anything from 12" diameter up. Jim https://fruitychutes.com/ Winch 'chutes need to be VERY robust. I think the best scheme to get cheap winch 'chutes it to obtain an old Tost 'chute and have a parachute rigger make a copy using the Tost as a pattern. I've seen quotes of about $40 where Tost wants about $400. Obviously, you don't need a professional rigger to do this but they will have the heavy sewing machines required.
