Home Made Parachute-No extra Servo or channel needed
This is a homemade parachute system and can release up to 3 parachutes. I used a small plastic cup, plastic bags, weights, and rubber bands and string.
The rubber bands hold to cup to the plane, and everything else is self explanatory.
I just stuffed the chutes in the cup and to release then you fly inverted. here is some pics

RE: Home Made Parachute-No extra Servo or channel needed
BTW, I tested it out today to find some things out. The actual cup works great for releasing in such, just make sure they are lose.
One thing:
The more strings, the more tangles, but the more strings, the more chance of the chute opening. I used a grocery bag with 2 strings today and it didnt open. My other bags got tangles, so i couldnt use them. But the more strings the mroe it will open
