I am not sure where to post this one as it could also fit into propulsion or high power, but I decided recovery may be the best place to post this as the context of my question has to do with recovery, but I do want to touch on the propulsion side.
I use CTI, Aerotech and Loki hardware and one of the differences I see with CTI is they do not have threaded forward closure options on 54mm and down. Although I have to admit up until know I have never used the threaded closure for an attachment point for recovery for all three manufacturers. I have used the threaded closures with the internal Aeropack for retention, including the CTI threaded closure adapter but not as an attachment point for recovery as it was not designed for recovery.
Has anyone mounted their recovery harness to the CTI 54mm hardware, is the hardware even strong enough for those forces, what techniques have you used and on the propulsion side do these techniques void anything as well as change the classification to EX because of a potential modification?
I ask because I am about to start a new build and I would like to try leaving the recovery harness attachment point off but not if it excludes CTI.
