Being one of those who just received Jolly Logic's new Chute Release device, I thought I'd begin a new topic for use questions, user tips, or potential issues.
In another place comments have been made regarding the small buttons - easy to use for some, for others with 'stubby' fingers no so much. My resolution is to use a small piece of 1/8" dowel as a depression tool.
Next item is chute folding tips. The user manual (pg 7) notes there are some on the Jolly Logic website, but I've not found them. Perhaps John hasn't yet had the opportunity to post them?
Last item is a general use question. Is there any real disadvantage to testing and then prep'ing a rocket a week before a launch? In cold weather fingers and small parts don't always work well together, so doing the setup & prep ahead of time would be handy.
None of this is meant to suggest any real problem with CR, but I think it's worthy of discussion...
