I ordered a Vindicator Jr from the BW Wildman sale. It's my first HPR I'm actually going to build with an emphasis on altitude, and I plan to try to clear a mile and exceed mach with it eventually.
I do have 3 questions about it though:
-What do people recommend for chutes for this? I may fly it on G's off concrete with single deploy, so I'd like a large enough chute to land safely, but a chute that will still pack well if using dual deploy.
-Is drogueless ok for flying dual deploy? If not, would an 8-10 inch drogue work well? I'd like it to descend fast until main deployment so there's not much drift.
-Would it need any special reinforcement for flying I800s, I216s, or I540s past mach? It doesn't look like you can add internal fillets, however I would think epoxy would be strong enough
Thanks for any feedback!
