well my 2 flights went well! And i got my L1. here's the telemetry data from the second flight:
Motor: CTI I204
Altitude at apogee: 2379'
Speed: 383 mph
Mach: .3401
Motor Burn Time: 1.38 sec
Coast to apogee: 9.4 sec
Max Accel: 18.1 G's
Aver Acell: 12.7 G's
Parachute Ejection: 463 (set at 500')
Flight Duration 71.3 sec
shroud lines.. OK.. swivels forsure! what a mess with the twisting. saying this maybe my parachute folding skills are not what they should be. i noticed that the shroud lines were short and twisted around the NC attachment point. so i'm thinking it's either my 'chute folding, or the JLCR is somehow involved. What i did do, was just remove both the shock cord, and parachute from the NC, untangle, then re-attach. (Maybe... just have connection points for both on the NC so i 'can' take them off.. hummm)
Damage: yup.. one of the fins sustained damage to 1/2 of the fin, and BT damage at the rear.. nothing too extreme, but will definitely repair.. abet not quite sure how to fix the damage on the fin yet. as for the BT, i was thinking straighten, then apply thin CA to strengthen.
I have Tom's CTI casing, and i have a universal drilling tool that was loaned to me, but when leaving for the chainsaw, i totally forgot about it, i need to get the UDT back to its rightful owner.
thank you to everyone who's chimed in! i totally appreciate your help..
