I finished my first dual deploy rocket and test fired charges today. Drogue charge was perfect. Energetically ejected with no issues. Main chute failed to shear the pins (3) and eject the cone twice even after increasing the powder well over recommended on the calculator. In the video, it appears i am venting at the cone as well as through the bulkhead (removable) And into the av bay base on the puffs i see out of the static port.
any suggestions? My initial thought is to snug up the fit of the cone and only use one of the three pins as it appears to vent far worse at the cone. All feedback is appreciated!
