Recovery/Chutes Notes
 
 

We have many parachutes left over from last year.

The big issue is what will we use for an ejection mechanism if we don't use the ejection charge in the motor?  This is turning into a big issue.

We should try a rear deployment mechanism.  Look at the MK II section of  http://www.vatsaas.org/rtv/arsenal/rickrocs/frankenboy/frankenboy.aspx to see what they did with a Fat Boy.  We could do something similar with a Big Daddy.
