Do you have a RocSim file yet?
That nosecone can be fully empty.
Could be....but is also a good place to put a tracker...which is my preferred use.
Also spanning the chute with the break point is not wise in my opinion, which drives the deployment point to the Ebay.
Really just prefer a "proper" length chute bay.
This is a perennial problem with kits trying to cut costs.
That and the need to buy a second coupler to make the motor section anti-zipper.
Hello you don't have to look to far I am a TAPSince this is such a good deal, had to get one... L3 here I come. Now all I gotta do it find some TAPs, write up the paperwork, do a little building... oh yeah, and fly the thing too.

Fred, I am not saying it is impossible, but I have not seen fwg tubes be zippered. I am fully a proponent of the anti zipper design in phenolic and cardboard rockets. I was originally going to go anti zipper and then did not with fwg rockets. I do not regret this.
As to a 24" upper in a four inch airframe. The effective length for recovery gear is likely 15-16". This plenty if you are efficient on packing your parachute. In my Wildman Extreme, in that space I can fit 30' Kevlar harness, a 60 Skyangle, and nomex easily. If you cannot fit a chute this size I would suggest examining you parachute packing technique.
This new rocket is significantly lighter than the original extreme due to lighter tubing- any chute needed can fit easily.
In the process of building my Drago EX (now known as Drago 4XL). Placed order today for Drago 5.
Someone likes the Drago... LoL
So Jeff is one of the Drago's where the custom color chute is going?
