In Response To: Material: Where to get parachute chord (Chris Kottaridis)

: I am considering using Nick Shade's ruddder control system that calls for
: parachute chords. I have no idea where to get parachute chords or what
: size I should get if there are different sizes.

Any hardware store will carry this. They may call it something else. It is a thin, approximately 1/8" to 3/16" diameter, cord with a braided outside sheath. It is easy to find.
