I've been looking here on TRF trying to figure out what is a safe speed for main deploy after drogue or the JLCR (which I have).
On my OR files with a 12" drogue, it shows it coming down with a speed rate
somewhere between 50 and 60 MPH. I would think that with JLCR it would be coming down quicker without an opened drogue chute.
Is that a safe speed for a 6ish pound rocket (minus the burnt propellant weight) to deploy the main?
My OR file gives me warnings about deploy speed and I'm still debating on beginning my first DD
configuration using a drogue.
The rocket is the 4" Madcow AGM 33 Pike.
Is 60ish MPR safe for main deploy????
