I have seen a few post where people question the viability or reliability of the Jolly Logic Chute Release in high power. I wanted to share my method of using this little game changer. I am a huge fan because of the unit's simplicity and the fact that I can use it in all my rockets. Also the simplicity extends to the chutes as well. I use Top Flight flat chutes because they work well and fold up nicely. I have also used a Fruity to good use but the sew nylon bridle gets in the way of my "super burrito" method.
Start out with a rocket...duh, a small quick link, a chute, a nome blanket and the JLCR. I like to use a much larger chute than normally required. Pictured here is a Top Flight 24" flat chute in florescent pink because it shows up well in the air and on the ground.
Next spread the chute out and fold the gores back on the chute. Troj's excellent sticky is a great resource for flat panel chute folding.
Then fold the chute over onto itself leaving the ends of the gores poking out. I like to collect mine, make sure they are even then place a zip tie to form a loop. Sexier and easier to do than tying a knot in them.
Next fold it over on itself again then one more time. Make sure each fold is smooth and even.
