EDIT: I said grains of 4F but I meant grams.
I mentioned here on rjenjen's MJG e match question thread that I would be doing a Blue Raven Ground Test with the new batch of MJG Firewire Initiators that I received last Friday.
The MJG Firewire Initiators worked great !
The Featherweight Ground Test Android App is too much fun !!
This is Nocturnal Missions, a desert-dirty 2.93 inch, still unfinished Vulcanite upscale which I hope to fly to 4800 feet on a J275W for my Level 2 re-cert next week.
I suppose I also want to recover her too
My 3-going-on-4 year old granddaughter Evie loved all the prep and the Ground Test ( especially the countdown ).
My Drogue popped perfectly with 1.25 grains of 4F:

However, I need a tad more than 0.7 grains for my main:

Oops ...
Reviewing my notes from 25 years ago, I used to use 1.0 grains for the main in Nocturnal Missions ( getting old and forgetful sucks, especially when I think I remember )
I'll be sure to fix that for my Level 2 Flight next week !!!
