Next was The Rocket Doctors Recommend Most, flying for the first time, also on an E15-4W. I decided to load up the 16″ chute that came with the Mustang.
What happened when the button was pushed surprised me: It flew. Pretty straight, high enough. Deployment was fine and it came back undamaged… except for a hole burned in the chute. Well I’ll be… that ridiculous pile of junk worked.
