I'm thinking of using 2 chutes for my interceptor-e, one for the nose/cockpit and one for the rest of the bird. what I'm wondering is; how to ensure that the main deploys? (going to use a baffle) thanks.

Click to expand...

pack the nose cone parachute under the body tube parachute.
wrapping both in a few loose sheets of wadding will also help them from getting tangled.
by packing the nose cone parachute under the main parachute, the nosecone pulls both chutes out.
and as always, make sure both parachutes are not wedged it the BT, and can slide out relatively easy.
 
nice and simple, I like that :). that beats my idea of making a 'deploy' bag for the main(or a weak thread). thanks much!
