How far do we go? Keep reducing charges until it doesn't deploy enough? The article I read in Top of Flight basically said you want the smallest charge to do the job. So is that measured by the smallest amount that will shear the pins? The smallest amount that will move the cone far enough to get all the shock cord out?
I started at .95g for Drouge and .55 for the main. Been reducing and now I'm at .80 for the drouge and .40 for the main. Thoughts? Should I keep reducing? Guess I didn't expect the charge loads to get this low.
I'm running a single #2 shear pins in the body tube and 3x #2 shear pins for the nose cone.
