It's on their website!Anyone happen to know the size rubber bands (small and large) that the JLCR uses? I am sure I can get hundreds of them on Amazon for the price they charge for 10 or so, but not sure what sizes I should order.
I’ve been making my own by tying Estes style elastic into a loop. That allows me get the size that seems to work the best. It’s also not sticky like the rubber bands seem to be. I have several different weights so I can pick the one that has the right stretch and strength.
I practiced and tested many times before my first flight to make sure I had it right.
Just my experience, YMMV.

Post no. 50 in this thread is what I also use with 100% success: Jolly Logic Chute Release | The Rocketry Forum
I’ve been using 3/4” elastic too. Wide enough that it doesn’t get wedged in between the folds of fabric. Haven’t tried the hair ties but think they would work well too.I started using 3/4" fabric elastic. It's very easy to adjust for different chute sizes. I am 100% since I switched.
Do you have a pic or product name of what you use? Thanks!I like the sticky bands as they will not slide off the bundle. Using it on a 9' main.
