Next I loaded up the Scion with a CTI G88 Smoky Sam, delay drilled to 8 seconds. thrustcurve.org recommended 7, but my choices were 6 and 8 and I opted for longer. In fact 6 would have been fine. Recovery was with a 24″ chute bound up with a Jolly Logic Chute Release I’d bought an hour or so earlier. I still think the Chute Release’s price is too high, but what incentive do they have to lower it? From what I’ve seen they must be selling tons of these things. I decided it was time to give in and buy myself one. It worked great.
