This was my first time using the Alt3 and a Chute Release that I just received for Christmas.
The F40 was slow off of the pad but was very loud and boosted with a lot of authority. Max velocity was 183 mph.
The CR was set for 400 feet and performed flawlessly. Alt3 data detected an increase in decent at 399 feet as it fell away from the unfurling chute and attained its final decent rate at 370 feet. If this proves to be consistent over the next few flights I'll attempt setting it for 100 feet.
The BRB900 was not aboard this flight.
