Top Flight shroud marks?

[BABAR]

Got this cool X-Chute with my motors from BuyRocketMotors.com

Instructions mention shroud center marks. I ain't seeing them. Am I missing something?

yes they should be there marked. Unless they changed them, but even if they aren't you can figure it out right?

The marks are to show you the center of the line when pulled tight. The marks are used so you get chute shroud lines tied off even. Just fold x panel over. Shroud line attachment point on the other stretch out line and mark center. Its important to get lines tied even.

I just looked at one of my x forms and I don't see a mark. I have several x forms and I've never noticed a mark on any one. My guess is it is a poorly worded sentence.

There was a mark for 26 years when I owned TFR.

Well, then maybe you know the answer to this question. What descent rate was used when determining the weight the crossfire chutes will take. When I asked TFR that they didn't know. They did say that the CD was 1.35 to 1.55. Why is it a range?

Yes, just surprised

Yeah maybe they don't mark them anymore

Maybe just send a note to Preston. Might be an oversight. One little bit missed when the business changed hands?

Good idea. I’ll use the email address on the instructions. Or if you would, pm me Preston’s info or his forum nom de plume.

Edit: sent to their email on their website.
