Excellent input guys, I really appreciate all comments!
I did not have the Delay Tool from Aerotech, I just used a drill bit and guesstemated the depth. The same method was used once before with success. Although the delay could have been left alone as the LOC IV came out heavier than a Stock build.
The Delay Tool is in the mail...
My only concern at the time was having the rocket nose down gaining speed upon nose ejection.
Applying different scenarios in Open Rocket started looking scary with long delays!
Having said that the launch of the previous H123W-L, the ejection was just before the nose over at apogee. Good thing the wind was low that day, I only walked about 375 yards. I have torn up knees and don't desire another surgery until I'm in my 60's...
So now my next flight on the LOC IV with an Aero tech H123W-14 I'll be using the Jolly Logic Chute Release! That changes everything!
I'll still drill a Delay and Z-Fold the harness using blue masking tape and a Rocket Man 4' Chute. It may have been a 5' Chute, I'll have to look to be certain but touch down and decent first time was soft and zero swinging around like the Stock Chute does.
Now I'm considering it best to have a look at the entire motor, making certain that the grains aren't greasy or discolored.
Again, thank you for all the input!
I'll have no problem destroying the said motor if I think something is not right with it. I have 2 other H123W's on hand, unopened.
It could be a $24.00 mistake! I did a pretty good job on the LOC IV, it has a nice tail cone I made and flies straight as an arrow with zero rotation!
