Re-folded my 12" chute and packed it into a slightly bigger rocket.  Folding chutes in the field sucks.  Nice straight, high boost out of the tower, clean deployment at apogee.  Chute only partially inflated, only got 30 seconds on the flight.  Turns out one of the shroud lined had slipped in the swivel unbalancing the line and letting half of the chute collapse.
