Parachute Deployment Accessory

It is always a good idea to protect a quite expensive equipment like a FV (flying vehicje/quadcopter), but also important is the safety. This accessory meets both requirements. If it is operated over a crowd, a crash of this object could injure a lot of people if it is falling with no control. A parachute would make a big difference and could also save many of the components of the FV which otherwise could be destroyed. Though the parachute could be deployed with the help of the servo already installed (see my other projects Bait deployment with floating landing gear and Claw/Landing Gear Accessory) I chose to make an independent parachute deployment system that can be attached to any other FV. Nevertheless, this system can be connected with the accessory plate below the belly of the FV and there would be no need for the second servo.
