After lots of test fittings, and experimentation I've decided that I'm simply not comfortable with using the JLCR in my 38mm minimum diameter project. Going to go with apogee deployment and a streamer instead to try to bring the rocket down close.
The foundation for the build will be a Wildman Rocketry Blackhawk 38 kit, built for dual deploy. But I'll be making some mods as well. Additive Aerospace 3-D printed fin can, fly-away rail guides, and Aeropack motor retention.
I'll be flying two trackers. A BRB RF tracker, and a Tracksoar GPS unit.
While I've flown a lot of streamer rockets, they've all been lightweight low-power kits. No experience with using streamers on HPR at all.
Any recommendations or references on a streamer for this rocket? Width? Length? Material? How about wadding, dog barf, etc?
Advice welcome and appreciated.
