Great flight. Like the Osiris this was using a D15-7. But drilling 2 seconds of the Osiris resulted in a seven second delay! Grrr... This time I took the aft closure back off and drilled about another 3/32 off the supposed 2 seconds I had already done. That did the trick. Almost perfect 4 second delay and a great flight.
