Hello Recovery Forum,
I have been flying a 54 mm minimum diameter, dual deploy rocket the last couple of years. The flight have mostly gone well with one exception. I keep burning holes in expensive parachutes.
I have tried several approaches to chute protection, dog barf, nomex blankets, the flame proof toilet paper and most recently all three. Still there has been minor holes burned in my chutes, both drogue and main.
I dont feel there is enough room in this airframe to get a large enough nomex blanket wrapped around a parachute to do the job.
What are you folks doing? I suspect some will say " a piston". I believe there sometimes is problems with this ejection method. Do you still recommend?
Thanks in advance-
