Howdy,
Tragic case today postponing my level 2 of the dreaded zipper. It happened because the main chute bay was a bit too slippery and deployed the main at burnout. Yes, I know I should have tested the ejection, but not sure that would have seen it because it was too loose, not to tight.
I thought maybe if I use a spring scale and pull the model apart; using the max estimated drag as a bottom threshold for stages. Any thoughts?
