I gave this one too much angle on the pad, and as a result while the vertical velocity was near zero at ejection, the horizontal velocity was still booking' right along. Parachute shredded, but it landed on soft grass and was not damaged. I bought an eighteen inch nylon 'chute from Vaugn Brothers and put one in this model and one in my Big Bertha.
