launched a newly finished BSD Apache at our last club meet. I don't know what I was thinking, but I choose too weak of a motor which resulted in low altitude and well-after-apogee deployment. I realized when walking out to fetch it that a zipper would be probable, and that is what I found.
It's a broad gash about 10" long, broad because I had used 3/8 kevlar cord.
I have decided the best way to repair would be to cut and replace the damaged portion with a new BT segment w/coupler. The paint job can be replicated with a little skill. But the difficult part will be finding another "Apache" decal, kinda the hallmark of this kit. Especially with the BSD brand up for sale.
Anybody got one willing to sell or trade?
Also, suggestions for BSD BT equivalent would be welcome as well.
Thanks
