I have a CTI 1 grain 24mm E75 Vmax. For some reason CTI made the delay on that reload an extremely long 17 seconds. I'm going to be flying it in a Big Daddy and OpenRocket says the optimum delay is 5 seconds so I would need to shorten the delay by 12 seconds. The most I can drill out with the delay adjustment tool is 9 seconds. That is still too much delay and would result in a 60 mph velocity at deployment. So my question is: Is it safe to drill the delay beyond the maximum amount that you can do with the delay adjustment tool? The tool drills 1/32" for each second so if I drill out 12/32" which is 3/8" would that safely give me a 5 second delay?
Or would it be better to just drill it down to 8 seconds with the delay adjustment tool and hope that I don't get a zipper when the chute deploys at 60 mph.
