Has anybody flown the PML Striker using the stuffer tube piston deployment method that comes stock with the kit? I can’t get past the fear that the parachute will end up inside the hollow nosecone. I have tested the rocket by blowing in the motor tube and the parachute does indeed end up inside the nosecone, and can only hope that the extra strength of a BP charge will blow the nosecone further so that the parachute will be pulled out of the nosecone when the shock cord becomes taut.
I have always had fears of the ejection charge mounted on the coupler bulkhead of dual deploy rockets will force the parachute down into the lower body tube, but that has never happened in my experience, so perhaps I shouldn’t worry.
Anyway, has anybody flown the PML Striker, and what were your experiences?
