Few mine today at same the location on a J449BS... I suppose it begs the question how was it we were not drag racing?:wink:

Had a couple problems with recovery, can you guess what they were?

Yeah, the main stayed in the nose cone. Here's a closer look.

Never would expect that with the concave NC shape and all. You would figure once the bundle started on the way out it would just keep on sliding. Might of hung up a little on the nubs left from the shear pins. I also used a giant 18" nomex 'cause I have been scorching my 50" Recon with the 12" blanket and could not find a 14". I had the shock cord tucked forward of the main just like CJ suggests but that wasn't enough in this case. Just packed it too tight I guess.
Also, my drogue got really scorched; another malfeasance on my part.

Thought the blast shield would protect the drogue, but it looks like the backup charge nailed it good. Live and learn.
Now the cool part of all this was that even after landing on a melted drogue, my Jimbo Jart was still perfect; not a scratch! Ready to graduate from mildman 3G to 4G.
