Answers to some important questions that were asked:

• What size parachute do we need to cut out?
  • For the Thing-a-ma-Jig you can cut out the full 16" or, at your option, the 12" (next size in).  The 8" (smallest) is TOO small for the Thing-a-ma-Jig
  • For the PayLord you MUST use the full 16" parachute.
• Will the engine (motor), wadding, ignitor and plug be provided at the launch?
  • Yes, these items are a part of the program and will be handed out at the launch.  There is no additional charge for these items as the cost was already figured into the price for this event.
