Hey Tom,
Your last name wouldn't start with a "B" and end with a "d" would it?
If it does i just watched some of my old Point 39 Productions LDRS tapes starring a "RocketJunkie"!

Mine finally flew, first on a K700, then on a 75/3500 L800. Both flights good. I do need to add a drogue as on the second flight the parts arranged themselves in line and really started to speed up. The main deployment was faster than I like.

Uploading my video of the flight to YouTube..Was an awesome flight!

EDIT:
Here is my pathetic attempt at videography!:roll:

Very nice flight. Guess it's safe to fly the L-800 lol.

Was there any damage to the tube edge?

No damage. The jerk at main deployment was enough to reset the altimeter.

Awesome Tom! Very nice flight indeed! Time to build a 24" diameter one! BTW, were ya wearing your red recovery chualk on these flights? Seriously I have the highest respect for you and your talents...Heck I feel like I know you from see'n you on videos for years! Maybe one day we'll meet at BlackRock!
