I plan on launching a motor deploy-only rocket to about 5,000’ this weekend. This rocket was my Level 1 and, for better or worse, I have an emotional attachment to it. In the B.C.R. era (Before Chute Release), I wouldn’t have attempted a launch like this for fear I would never see the rocket again. At the same time, this rocket has been asking for more motor, and now, with some help from Chute Release, I’m finally ready to oblige. Be careful what you ask for!
I haven’t used my CR yet in the field. I have done ground testing with the CR and chute I’ll be using: multiple shake tests and release tests. All seems good. The thing is – I can’t recall, nor can I find, any accounts of CR being used for mile+ flights.
Are there special considerations when using CR with higher altitude flights?
Any thoughts, tips, experiences, etc. would be welcome.
