Chutemainpilot Ac

This chute was done with some lack of concern - it's only visible for less than a second. I've never heard of pilot chutes being anything but white, so I haven't colored it. The information for diameter, length of cone, and the comparitive volumes of the reefed stages was provided to me by the ESCG parachute team. More specific info on the specs can be posted if necessary. Do bear in mind that they warned me that the chutes aren't fully designed, so the specs may change.

As far as I know, AC3d doesn't directly support units of measurement. But I designed this chute treating the units as inches. The origin of the model is the point at which the lines of the chute all meet. As far as orientation - the canopy of a single chute was made along the -x axis, then I reproduced the chute, 3 times, tilting 5 degrees around the x-axis. So, the negative x-axis is the line drawn from the origin to the center of the three chutes. Due to the symmetry, there's no difference between y and z.
