SkyAngle "CERT-3".
Innovative from the ground up!
With over a year spent in the design and testing phase, the SkyAngle CERT-3 series was the result of numerous requests from customers and dealers for larger capacity parachutes and a heavy duty 24" Drogue. Much more than just a bigger version of the popular SkyAngle Classic, the CERT-3 has been engineered from the ground up specifically for the advanced rocketry flyer who demands the very best. High power fliers with substantial projects now have a quality choice when selecting a premium recovery system: the SkyAngle CERT-3!

- Manufactured with 1.9 oz. zero-porosity silicone (or urethane) coated ripstop "balloon" nylon.
- Four 5/8" mil-spec woven tubular nylon (2250 lbs) suspension lines in a continuous, uninterrupted path around the canopy.
- Welded 1" ring sewn at canopy apex for optional pilot 'chute attachment.
- Size label sewn on outside, UV-resistant polyester sail-maker's thread is used throughout.
