Hello all, I am needing to use either a Jolly Logic or Tender Descender for staged parachute deployment from a single parachute bay. I have used JLCRs for several flights successfully, but there isn't a way to release a deployment bag as far as I can tell. I am looking into possibly using a Tender Descender as it has been flown on rockets with deployment bags previously. For those who have used the Tender Descender, what are some pros and cons of using it over a JLCR? I plan on using either two JLCRs or two Tender Descenders in series for redundancy by connecting the pin from one JLCR hooked into release in the other, or using a quick-link holding two Tender Descenders together so that only one or the other has to deploy for the parachute to release. I appreciate any input!
