Can someone point me to some information about recovery from high altitude? I understand Dual Deployment and using drogues to get down fast before popping a larger chute. I am curious about actually getting the model back, not just having it survive the landing somewhere in the next county.
I am not trying to go particularly high, say 5000'. With a smallish rocket, there isn't room for telemetry so I am going to have to go visual. Is it just a matter of waiting for a particularly calm day with no winds aloft and hoping it comes down close? Or, is there more I can do. So a better way to ask my questions if probably: What can I do to improve the chances of retrieving a mid-power rocket from a 5-6000' foot flight without using TM?
