My first G motor, and first use of my 29 mm 3-grain case. (Two grains and a spacer.) Boost was fine. Ejection, fine. Recovery… well, the chute decided it wanted to see the world. The rest came down a little hard. The second annual Ventris fin repair will be taking place in the near future. I had the shroud lines attached to the snap swivel using a loop of thin Kevlar, which works okay for low power but obviously wasn’t strong enough for this situation. I need to figure out a better approach.
