AI Thread Summary
A parafoil design is needed for a controlled descent of a 1.2 lb payload, utilizing two control lines operated by a servomotor. The user is seeking recommendations for suitable parafoils and reliable purchasing sources, expressing frustration over extensive online searches. Additionally, there is interest in designing a parafoil capable of carrying a 200 g payload with a descent time of 100 seconds. The Flexifoil website is suggested as a potential resource for parafoil options. The discussion emphasizes the need for guidance in both design and sourcing for effective payload descent.

I'm working on a project that requires 1.2lb(approx.)-payload to be descended by a parafoil. The parafoil needs to have 2 control lines which will be steered by a servomotor.

The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...
