BUTTERCUP flies again.

[John Taylor]

2nd flight yesterday on wife's Star Orbiter. Flies great but really high on a F44-8. Last month flew it on a F21 (55NS) drifted over a mile and past a barbed wire fence. Recovered. Yesterday on a F44, (43 NS) went extremely high and drifted less than a mile but had to cross two creeks and a different barbed wire fence, recovered.
Next time, even smaller chute, and a Estes D12? Boring!

Chute release? Would it even fit?

It will, just takes a bit of practice to pack both a chute and JLCR into it. I use on in my Estes BT60 size Nike Smoke all the time (F35s to 2050') [emoji3]

Really? when I tried it did not seem to fit. I will check it out again!
Thanks!

Ok with a smaller chute I believe I can use it in my Star Orbiter. It seems to fit AOK. I will try it next launch. After that, bigger motors?

Thank you very much! It looks like this will save this old man a lot of walking. Thanks!!

Chute Release fits in a Star Orbiter just fine. I almost always use a CR when I fly mine, even though I generally just use Estes F15-8s in it.
