Im thinking of putting the madcow torrent together and going to the miane launch the end of dec. if i get it together would someone help me set up the bay and do some ground testing? Ill come up to you and will bring what i need/have. We can discuss what i have and if im missing something i can get it. Thanks for the help up front, im hoping this will be an L2 flight.

I did my shear pin testing on the field at Berwick - pretty sure it would not be legal to do such a test where I live. For the 4" DX3, with approximately 12" of bay to pressurize, ~1.8g of BP adequately sheared the 2-56 nylon screws that I used as pins. I've been flying in that configuration ever since with good results.

John,

You are welcome to come by my house to look over and test your deployment system.

We can set up a day and time by email or PM. I have time this weekend and next.
