Had to fly a falcon bird made of tubelar aluminum with a 60 ft wingspan. We put a drogue chute which had an opening of 1 meter and 2 meters long. This was placed on a 3 meter pole on the back with a 1 meter line, held the bird in a straight line beautifully, when we tried with no chute it span all over the place. Think you will find it depends upon the size of the chute. YouTube - Broadcast Yourself wind towards the end and you will see the size of drogue
