i shot off my estes taser the other day and the first flight went flawless great hight chute came out right as it nosed over ad it floated down nicely
on the second shot i packed everything up the same way as the first shot
but when the chut came out it never opened when i inspected it it was slightly melted together in spots enough to not let it inflate but when i tugged it aprt it would work fine. i use a nomex reusable sheet attached to the shockcord that is brand new how can i keep it from getting heated together? my dad says use powder we've seen them do this on drag cars when they pack the chute but not sure how it would work in a heated enviorment. any suggestions i am practicing with this cheap rocket before i fly my blackhawk kit from wildman and i'd like to experiment with the lil one first $$$
By the way the taser wasn't damaged from it high alt fall i was using a c6-7 estes engine at the time
the chute obviously is plastic but the chute for the blackhawk is nylon i beleive. I think the powder would help with it but not sure if it will help the plastic one
