The maiden flight of my upscale Challenger-1 on a D12-5. Perfect flight and recovery... the first time.
On it's second run the nose deployed but not the chute. It tumbled into the hayfield and sustained minor crinkling.
I've had mixed results using nylon parachutes in anything smaller than a BT-70.
Future flights will require a plastic chute.
On the bright side it now looks even more like my original.
