I like your method -- it has device-retention built into the function, since the button cannot come off the lines. And I follow your pattern -- two shroud lines per hole, using either six-sided or eight-sided canopies... Did this method work as well with the smaller 'chutes, like 12" or 14"?

Ah, yes. I've seen video of rocket-ejected safety chutes for small aircraft that use that method of slowing deployment. Just never knew there was a term for it!

Remember before I bought RS that I said I didn't think it could simulate our Scram-Jet shock cord separation? I seem to recall that Somewhere in the Bowels of RockSim 7 or 8, you can set the "Chances of Failure," or something to that effect. I'll have to hand it off to somebody else to actually find it, though. Cheers, --Jay P.S. *That's* why I couldn't find your post using "Search" -- an alternate "RoxxZimm" spelling! |

Well, it did do a pretty good job of predicting a high velocity ejection for the Big Daddy on an E15-7W. Craig ran it through and suggested an E30-7T instead, but I was just half crazy with desire to see a nearly 3 second boost phase....
