I learned yesterday that a spinning 8" fiberglass booster section under drogue can cut even the best Kevlar harness. :y: Descending from approximately 4000' into a rocky canyon, free-fall, made a mess out of the bottom half of Crowd Pleaser. I went to the Madcow website and under components they didn't list any 8" stuff. Bummer. I would have sent them an email directly but didn't find any link there. Regardless, I'm going to rebuild her some way or another, repaint it all red, and christen her "RecoveRED"!
I reckon I'll need:
1- 60" x 8" slotted tube
3- 3/16" fins
1- 33" x 98mm motor mount tube
3- centering rings
Next time, duc-tape on Kevlar at the edge contact areas!
