What is the recommended maximum speed at which you want your parachute
to deploy?
I'm running some OpenRocket test simulations on a Dual-Deployment
design I'm looking to scratch-build and with using a 12" Drogue chute and
a 52" Main chute, I have the drogue deploying at apogee (1300/meters)
and the main chute deploying at 500/meters.
This arrangement is giving me a main chute speed deployment warning
of 22.7 m/s. As such, I'm wondering what is really the danger range, assuming
you have a normal rocket built from cardboard tubing and epoxy'd together?
