I have a recovery problem with short length, high thrust motors in my wider rockets. I believe what happens is that when they kick, the forces partially unfurl the nomex and parachute down the airframe closer to the ejection charge. I keep getting singed parachutes on these sorts of flights.
Anyone experiment with putting a grate or storm hole cover type device into their upper airframe, so that the space created by using shorter motors is not available to the recovery system? I was thinking about cutting quadrants out of a bulk plate.
