I don't do spirals
I've been flying for 40 years, and I'm ashamed to say I've never done a dual deploy - I've always tried to keep it simple, or I used the JLCR with great success.
So I'm building my first DD, a 54mm LOC Vulcanite with bluetube ebay & eggtimer quark.
Now what?
I found these great nylon 4/40 screws at Ace Hardware that look like they would be perfect shear pins, but how do I know? How many to use, 2? 3? what I cannot wrap my head around is, doesn't the ejection rip up the tube around the shear pin?
Man, any suggestions or pointing out a thread would be a great help. I've watched apogee videos, which are a help, but most I've seen assume you already have the charge amount (1.5 grams?) and shear pin selection. I don't know where to start
