Looking at the rockets to see what I'll need to ready them for more flights. The parachute lines ripped the holes out. Is this normal? What causes the lines with the supplied parachutes to just rip out like that? Should I upgrade to the purple chute (that's 15", right?)? It's a shame, the chute wasn't burned (yay Borax + paper towel wadding!).
Also, I noticed the nylon rip-stop streamer I had added to the Estes Summit got a little burned, but since it's a streamer I figured we'd just use it again...this time with our home made wadding which seems to work so well.
I'm thinking of adding food coloring to the wadding to make it easier to find for cleanup...will the borax slow down biodegradation of the paper towel wadding very much?
