The Estes Ventris. A G38-7 EconoJet. I think it was old when I bought it. And now, probably 6 or 7 years old.
I am sure a some point I used a drill bit to open the swelled slot. So a repeat. CHHHHUUUUUUUUUUFFFFFFFFFF. Nothing
Walk of shame (and heat). Nothing else to try... all I have are either Copperheads (life is too short) or Magnalite. Grab another FS-12 ... 3... 2... 1... a CHUFF... CHUFF... CHUFF... bang off we GO! It was a nice straight flight on up to 450m. Again I had my other JLCR on board for 90m. And it DID release! BUT by the time if did, the shroud lines were hopelessly twisted. Yes twisted. I should listen to Camron when packing chutes.  However there was little damage. Ever heard of an 'Estes Dent'? The way the Ventris landed caused an 'Estes Dent' in the body tube. Already repaired
